    I have one.
    It's a automatic.
    Lucky the big round shell plate is for 308/30.06.
    This thing is heavy.

    Just picked up a cast iron Hollywood Senior and was wondering if there is any way to find the vintage.It says Mfg. Hollywood Gun shop on one side and Hollywood Loading Tools on the other. Cleaned up very nice, lubed it and am using it. What a beast. Also was fortunate enought to get a Dunbar. Has dunbar stamped on the main operating rod. Another beast. Cleaned up real nice also. I like to leave them in as original condition as possible with all the little nicks and missing paint, so as to think about those that had them before me and what they did with them. For the age they are in excellant shape.

    The first Hollywood Senior was patented In May of 1951. Several versions came later, all fine machines. I am aware of a Hollywood History book in the works but a year or so out.
    HOLLYWOOD Collector Left hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!

    Well after picking up the short Senior and the Dunbar I was able to score a cast steel Senior tallboy. Now I'm going to get rid of the DUNBAR as i have used and the senior and while both are extremely smooth and rugged, I like the Hollywoods better.

    I have just picked up this press on flea-bay. I believe it is setup for 12ga. I believe it is complete except the powder and shot measure. Can anyone confirm this. I believe all the holes are 1.5". I hope to reload 50bmg with it, and do some lighter swaging tasks with it. Does anyone know where I can find a shotgun primer stem for the Hollywood?

    Thanks
