    Oh yeah.

    I thought it was some new invention when Hornady had recently hit the street
    with a cast Iron single stage--- It looks like it was inspired by one of those.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    Nice score. It looks like a real beast. What kind of shell holders does it take? That’s a new one on me. That would have been hard to turn down, even though I’m trying to thin my herd!

    I will say what no one else has: I HATE YOU!!!!!

    My local Craigslist has two listings that include a reloading press. One is a Hornady progressive setup for only $2300, and that is just barely in my area. The other is a MEC setup for $1500. Neither one is actually local. First is about a half-hour drive into the country, assuming I leave now, at a bit after 6am when traffic is light, second about a 3hour drive on toll roads. More later in the day when the traffic gets heavier. I don't think I want them that bad.

    You've just gotta do some digging and scratching! Right before the advent of Covid, my brother went in the junkiest little thrift shop I've ever seen. In the back room, sitting on the floor, he found not one but two C-presses sitting there all covered with dust. I don't know about one, but the other was a Pacific, and at $30 for the two of them, he did OK, I would say.
