It looks to be in excellent condition. What is its serial number?
I had to restore mine and replace some missing parts.

Tighten down that bolt in the middle a bit.

It is a Hollywood Model-III Special Deluxe.
After you strip-off the paint, be sure and use aluminum primer before painting it. And use a good primer on the iron parts. I cold-blued the handle.

This has been asked and answered too many times.
No lube is needed for reloading straightway pistol cases (M1 Carbine is the exception), especially something as minuscule as the 9mm Punibellum.

I was at my LGS the other day that stocks a lot of reloading stuff. The guy in-the-know about such things says that Allianz has not shipped them anything in a long time due to government contracts...

Quick-Measure makes one for BP; it is brass.

Don't bother w/ a bench primer. Get a Lee or Lyman Autoprime. They are inexpensive and fast.
None of those. I use Unique for most all my handgun calibers.
I have taken several RDS courses and understand their use for defensive handguns. They are useful for:
1. gamesmen

Handloader's Digest #4 says it is for the 22-Hornet. All the old Digests (editor: Dean Grennell) had very complete shell-holder charts.

No, am not concerned about a tiny amount of lead being shaved. Both other messages I have read seemed to insinuate it was more than a tiny amount. I do not know, but am willing to experiment. Will...

If only it were that easy. I own a Dillon 750 w/ a Mr. Bulletfeeder to load lead 45ACP, so there is no room for it, a powder-check die, and separate seating and crimp dies.

I don't know anything about shot shell reloader, just those for metallic cartridges. Been a Dillon user for >30-years, first w/ a 550, now w/ a 750. Their presses are nice but have some known...

And another oft-asked question.
My mass-reloading is done w/ either a Dillon or Quick-Measure. Low-volume reloading is done w/ an old, Hollywood drum-type or a B&M clone. All are up to the task...

The 550 is a semi-progressive press in that the operator must manually cycle it to reload. Not that it matters.

I used a 550 for 30-years and only stopped using it when it started malfunctioning. I upgraded to a 750, added the case-feeder, then a Mr. Bulletfeeder. I now reload 18-rounds of .45acp a minute, 10k...
