Hi,
Back from the dead!

VERY nice job!

Working on a DL-300 shotshell loader as we speak.

Got it in VERY rough shape and this will be a labor of love, (couldn't pay me to do this!)

Have a 333 I am working on. How did you clean up the press column rods? What is the extra ear (no threads etc) used for? THANKS LB

I had all of the chrome parts stripped and redone for $90. More than worth the expense. I'm not sure what extra ear you are asking about. The 907 is a four position shot press. The right is final crimp die, center is prime/powder/wad/shot, left is size/deprime die and on the rear (may be the extra ear) is the pre-crimp die.

Thanks Mike, my 333 is the same as yours but taped 7/8 x 14 for rifle dies except for the ear that must be for the pre crimp. Nice job on the restore.

These presses are pretty much ghosts. Very little is available in the way of parts or written information.

Found an old print add in a Guns magazine from 1964 on this press and one other CH press. I'll figure out how to get them posted up.

This is from the 1964 issue of Guns magazine. I have other files I will get posted up for the 205 Offset press as well.

I bought this tubing to replace the powder/shot tubes and it came in a bit smaller than the vendor quoted. Supposed to be a replacement for the old Hornady/Pacific 366 loaders and measure 2". This stuff is actually 1.9" with a 1/16 wall. If anyone needs it let me know.
