Saeco match press

[myg30]

I just realized this press takes special shell holders. Is there anyone here that has shell holders and or any info about them ?
If this is in the wrong section please advise. Thank you

Thank you sir. Would you know if there is any interest in a saeco press because I’m not sure if I want to purchase all new type shell holders.
This one is very clean and smooth running for its age. ( I wish I was )

I have no experience with the old SAECO shorty dies, have always used regular dies. So, I find the SAECO to be of historical interest, but not of practical interest. They are not much discussed here, so my guess is that is a widely shared opinion. Could be of interest to a collector, of course. I think the special shellholder issue to be a deal killer for a modern user.

I would be interested in the SAECO press.

I've long been amused by people who willingly buy costly conventional dies because they're marketed as "target", or "competition" or "bench rest". Yes, anyone who goes to a competition and shoots conventional reloads is, by that fact, using "competition" dies because they're using them in a competition - but they don't win! Few precision competitors use threaded dies; most serious shooters use unthreaded seating dies under an arbor press for best accuracy.
