pacific tool co reloader

[Guest Big-A]

Just traded on some reloading stuff. The press i got is a pacific tool co, multi power press a division of hornady. This things built like a tank, it weighs at least 15lbs and is in great shape. I'm in the process of building a portable bench. I dont think what ive started will hold this thing. Anybody ever heard of these presses ?

They were popular back in the '60's & '70's. Probably second only to RCBS. It will probably be still working well when you pass it down to your grandchildren.

I had one for a while, bought it used to go w/my Rockchucker but never used it. They are a great press, every bit as good as the RCBS.

It's red but im gonna have to find a smaller press to fit my small bench

The best value in a reloading press I've seen in a while is the Lee Classic Cast Turret Press which takes no more space than a RCBS Jr or Lee Challanger. That said if you can find one of the older cast iron open front C type presses made by a number of companies you'll have a great set up for single stage handgun reloading.
