You have a Hollywood Turret Tool, it says it right in the casting on one side.
Pretty nice press, I sure like mine.

I had no problems sizing 444 on a Lee Breechlock Challenger.
Actually, a pretty nice press for what it is.

I think CH4D will make a carbide die for it, but I don't think anyone else does.
They...

Word for word, my experience too.
The Forster one doesn't need to be bolted down, but the RCBS does.
It needs to be bolted down with the handle sticking quite a ways over the edge of the bench....

Nicely done, and yes, that paint looks perfect.
Next trip in to town I'll have to see if NAPA up here carries it.
Thanks for the tip.

I don't know, didn't really keep track, but...

Beautiful!
There's an old fellow that comes to one gun show every year.
Sets up in the corner, and cranks out rounds on his Star all day, both days of the show.
He bought it new in 1960 I think he...

Well, here it is painted.

Kevin, I used Rustoleum Hammered finish paint.
Beautiful paint, but completely wrong.
I was looking for Krylon Wrinkled Finish, but the store had been bought...

Thanks Al :p
I am falling a bit in love with it.
The machining, and the way everything was thought out, is a joy to discover.


I took a propane torch to the aluminum of the shellholder...

On Monday I took delivery of my first Hollywood, an aluminum Turret Tool.
I've drooled over the ones on here long enough, and one finally came available.

Nice shape, just a few paint chips, but...

Those are nice looking dies.
I've wanted a Bob fro some time; there's just something classy about it.
Seeing as your OP was your 257th post, I'd say it was a sign :mrgreen:

Does it work by bringing the die down to the case?

On those ones, doesn't the primer tube dangle off of the primer arm?

It sure looks like a Bonanza Model 68 on steroids and with compound linkage to me.

When you actually look at what comes in the kit, it's not hard to add up another $350 worth of...

Just to add a little bit on the backwards tilt or 'kickback'.
I have a CH press with a backwards lean, but 'modern' push down to raise ram, and didn't like having to guide everything together.
Here...

What a beautiful powder measure!

The only primer I've ever put in sideways was the first one through the Forster.
I figured out that you have to be gentle inserting and removing the brass and don't jiggle the unit, as the primer is...

In the days before compound leverage, a guy could develop a lot more force lifting up than just pushing down.
My little Pacific can be switched to work up or down.
It's neat, I can push down on the...

I've noticed the same thing as salpal, I'm getting peening even though I'm using copper pins.
It isn't horrible, but it is noticeable.
I have since changed the 'agitators' in my drum, so hopefully...

Agreed. I had the Lee gizmo on my Challenger press, and I don't understand how people can have such troubles with
it. Once you make your peace with it and understand that the last 2 primers won't...

RCBS tube fed Bench Prime, Forster Prime tool, Forster Co-Ax, in that order.
RCBS is quick and easy, Forster is fiddly to set up and to fill tubes, Co-Ax is slow but accurate and idiot proof.
The...

And there's that Spousal Approval Factor, as well ;)

He lives in Vancouver, he's heard legends about this 'sun' thing, but never seen it himself...:bigsmyl2:

After using it for rinsing brass, it probably shouldn't be put back into service with...

I don't have a T-7, but I do have a Co-Ax. The Co-Ax is a heck of a press, and I'm quite happy with it.
I'd likely be every bit as happy with the T-7.
Of the two, for pistol, I'd rather go with the...

Guys, the way I read it is, he's in an area with little water that is hard to get to.
I don't think this really has anything to do with hugging trees, just he's trying to conserve water by re-using...

I store mine with a used dryer sheet in it.
I keep a couple shhets in the reservoir of each powder measure, too.
It's usually dry here, and I have baseboard heat, and I don't have issues with...

I think I only have the one set of Lyman dies, but they are as nice as most of the others.
The 'M' die is the cat's meow.
