Outstanding!

I have two that I cleaned up - not as pretty as you did. They work great for working loads up and depriming as a seperate function etc. I am giving one to a bud who has been wanting to get into reloading. I hate losing it but hey you can only run one press at a time eh? :mrgreen: However I have a couple of boys I put to work once in a while :-D

It's a good press, it deserves a few bucks to buy a can or green paint. right is right. and black is just some tool. IMHO

jballs,

I picked up that same press last weekend at a gun show for $25.00. It's in pretty decent shape, all the parts work good, but now you've inspired me to restore it to it's former glory. Think I'll detail clean it tonight! LOL

BTW jballs, weather's too cold here to test pulldown 223 loads today (30 degrees & windy) maybe tomorrow. I'll let you know.
