Hi guy's/girls

Does anyone know who makes the press in the pic or have any information on it please ? It says EM 1, and on the back has Blits written on it.

Interesting looking press. I'm sure some of the folks from the antique loaders site will post any info they have on it shortly.

That is nice.
I'm looking for a turret press to replace the Lee turret.
The bar gets in the way.
This one looks like something I could work with.
Nice find.

Thanks for the replies guy's. I have been searching on the internet with no success on getting info about this.

That looks like a home modified Rcbs. I would like to see a a photo from side showing the turrets connection to press base.

i must confess i am stumped nice press

I don't think that's a homemade modification. Nice machined turret with good sharp knurling and locating indents, probably with corresponding spring loaded ball. Whole press looks like it was designed as one unit/tool...

Thanks for the input guy's, i'm stumped too

Send a PM to member pressman; he's the local expert on odd reloading presses.

If a pattern maker named Blits decided to make a loading press of his own design, he might designate it "Experimental Model 1." He could certainly line up time at a foundry and a machine shop to get the parts made.

That's a pretty nice design. Even has knurling around the turret in case there's no room for the handles. Never seen the like before, myself.

makes sense, thanks Bent Ramrod
