Had it forever, but have not used it due to odd size nozzle.

My guess is Pacific but I don't know what it went to or how to get rotors.

This has what looks like "32643910" stamped in the well of the cavity and drops 7 gr of Bullseye.

Any clues? Thanks

More pictures would help ML, but the body looks like a late Pacific/Bair unit while the reservoir with its orange trim speaks of Lyman. Does it use brass rotors? Seeing those and the body from other angles might help identify it, but I would opine that this is a heavily customized unit that someone set up for their specific wants/needs and will be hard to really identify further. OTOH, if it uses standard Pacific/Bair rotors, it could still prove useful to you.

That is a Lachmiller, 2 of them were used on their Super Jet shotgun press. The handle/rotor must be changed for different charges.
The last of these were sord by Herter's who picked up the left overs from RCBS after they bought Lachmiller.

The nozzle fits and nicely flares a 45 cal case. The rotors are aluminum.

If you remove the rotor, there is a set screw in the hole, this set screw holds the powder charge
plug. The plugs were made in different lengths for different powder charges.
The plugs are marked as to what charge of Bullseye they would throw.
At least that what mine does.

Looks like I spoke too soon! I have to admit this is a totally new one on me, although I guess I should have recognized the operating handle as NOT being homemade. Interesting design, that!

Jaguar, thanks! So is it a Lachmiller, and was it part of a progressive machine or just a standalone to an odd threaded single stage?
