I am thinking about getting a CH4D Champion Press.

But I can't find out the measurement of the ram stroke I've seen it
listed as 3 1/4", 3 3/4" and 4 1/2". But I did read that the 3 1/4" one was a typo.

Or the size of the opening in the ram area.

Does anyone have those dimensions?

The main thing that I'm trying to find out is can I load 404 Jeffery rounds on it?
If it can be done is it a reasonable fit or is it a fight to get it in and out?

The 404 Jeffery is just under 3.6" COL about the same length as the .375 H&H.

What is the longest cartridge anyone has loaded on a CH Champion?

Call Dave at C&H, he is the owner and is a wealth of knowledge and a heckua nice guy and very accessible.

Mine has a stroke of 4 1/4". I have loaded a few hundred jacketed .375's and over a thousand cast cartridges on it, as well as several hundred .340 Weatherby loads. It works fine on these long cartridges, you will be amazed how ergonomic it is.

Thanks quasi,

That's what I needed to know!

You wouldn't happen to have a picture or two of the Champion with a .375 H&H size round in it or being loaded that you could post would you?
