    What do I have here: Vintage shotgun reloading press parts

    Got these over the weekend. What do I have?

    The first pic is what may be for an Acme press. (no coyotes seen) Some of the parts are marked Acme, patent pending.

    Second pic, bushings. I don't think these fit the Acme as I remember them having a round charge bar.

    The powder bushings are all marked with grains and then powder. I could not get good pics of the text on these. Examples of the text:

    23GR. RED DOT-///
    19GR. ALCAN SPEC.///

    These bushings measure exactly 1" tall and 3/4" diameter. Blued steel

    The powder bushings are similarly marked but are 0.810" diameter and 0.994" tall.

    Thanks for looking.

    The powder bushings look like the ones I got with a Bair 20ga honey bair shotshell reloading press back in 1970.
