My father has had a single stage reloader since I was a kid. I'm 45.

Not sure what it is Its green and he had to fix the handle on it. It is old and he claims it is one of the first reloaders. ( Not sure about that claim)

Anyway, I have used his press to load.357, .38, 30.06, .222, .243 etc, when I was in my mid 20's.

I got away from reloading and have been buying ammo for the last 20 years. With prices going up, I thought it would be time to get back into it.

I admit I feel stuck in the 1960's using this press because I don't know anything about other presses. We have many dies for several other calibers other than the ones mentioned above.

My father is older and has some health issues now. He doesn't use the press or dies.


He also has severl thousand bullets of various calibers and weights. Has two ammo boxes full of various primers.

All kinds of brass. About 20 cans of powder.

Basically there is a ton of reloading stuff here.

I want something that doesn't take all evening to load a few boxes of shells.


With all the supplies on hand, I'd like to get a press that is compatible with the dies we have and load quicker.
