This used to be my grandpa's reloader and I can't find any information about it. It would help a lot if anyone could identify it for me.

Do you have a picture, or can you give a description? I'm sure no matter what it is, someone here will know.

Looks like a C&H 3.

My thought too, but there were a couple similar presses made years ago.

That is a C-H SHOTSHELL RELOADER and is missing the powder/shot measure.

I stumbled into one yrs ago and got the story from the guy running C-H that this three station press was originally designed as a shotshell press then was changed to do metallic cartidges!

Can't tell guage it is the Pic is to small.

It most definitely is a C&H 3 station shotshell loader. C&H made this so called "H" press starting with a one station model originally for metallic cartridges and then subsequently upgraded it to have three stations. Thereafter they increased the number of stations to four. The press is still in production today and can be seen on the C&H website. LLS

My 1959 catalog shows this to be a C-H Model 907 Shellmaster press. Unfortunatly the powder and shot tubes are missing. They fit the center die station.
Available for 12, 16 and 20 guage. Complete for one guage; $74.95. Extra die sets $21.00.
It is not listed in the later catalogs.

Looking at a 1960 Shooters Bible, the CH Magnum press looks almost exactly like the one in the picture.

This press was designed to reload metallic cartridges and it sold for $36 back in the olden days of the 60s.

If it was mine, I would clean it up and use it.

Do you intend to clean it up and bring it back to working condition? If so, please post a picture of it when it is finished.
