Redding Model 7 C Press

[hawkenhunter50]

Anyone here using this press? I got a used one that I think might be missing some parts. When depriming the spent primers go everywhere. Is there something that should contain them? Also the shellholder slips right in & out. Real easy to pull brass & shellholder out of the press together. It has holes that look like maybe a set screw is used to hold the shellholder in. Looking for someone that has a complete one to steer me towards what I might be missing on mine. Thanks.

Can't find out anything on the primer catcher, sorry, but it seems it's supposed to use special shell holders and was made '68-69 era.
Here's a video on a similar press, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WNyp1Ha-jH4

Both of my Bair presses use a shell holder base that uses a set screw.

Contact Highboy that is in the video as he just refurbished his second unit and might have extra shell holders or know of a source. I have Pacific Single Stage Press that I love.

Have you got the answers you're looking for yet? I have one of these and may be able to help.

I guess I have not, basically just trying to find out if this uses special shellholders or regular ones with a set screw, i used regular ones but when removing the brass, they slide right off the ram if you arent careful. Also when depriming the primers just fly wherever, wondering if I am missing a containment piece. I have a rock chucker that has a plastic tray they are guided into. So just trying to find out if I am missing pieces for those 2 things and if so what are they? Thanks

It uses regular shellholders but they are held in with a tiny set screw inside the grove around the top of the ram. It's most likely missing. ACE hardware has replacements. Or watch the video and not that he is not using the set screw either. The shellholder is rotated 90 degrees to the left so he can slip cases in and out.

As for a primer catcher, I am working with a fuzzy memory, I think there was one available, I think. It would have been a cast iron cup fitted around the front of the press.

Great thanks thats exactly what I was looking for. Will do some searching for a primer catcher. Bought the press with the idea of using it for a dedicated deprimer press. Once i tried that one time, that was the end of that, primers were everywhere!!

If it's the press I'm thinking of it does not use a set screw to retain the standard shell holders. It uses a C shaped steel clip. It also uses a horseshoe shaped plastic primer catcher. If you PM me your email address I'll send pictures. LMK
