New Press

I was in my friends gunshop and came across this Hornady progressive press that he just took in. He wanted $200 and that is what he got out of me. According to the shipping label it was shipped in 1998 and still looked new in the original box. The previous owner loaded some 223 with it from what I can tell because of the shell holder that was in it. It also came with shell holders for 308/45 acp, 357mag and 300 win mag in unopened boxes. I am thinking he must be a recoil junky to have to crank out 300 mag on a progressive press. The only rust on the whole thing was in the powder drop tube. I polished that out . I loaded up some 45 ACP and it works like a champ. I then sold my Lee progressive to my friend for $100. So I am good. :D

That is the 32 special barrel I thought I would throw together but I decided on the half octagon 30-30 instead. I need about $80 in forend parts to finish it. Maybe there will be some left over Christmas money for me.

Dirty trick selling that press to a friend! Shoulda given it to him with a written warning... :lol:
