Anyone still use one of these??

I grew up with one of those as well as CH "H" and Champion presses.

I wish I had set up like that when I was young and pumping lead of some kind everyday out of 30+ different cartridges. I produced the same out put on Single Stage Press, charge dropper and beam scale. Now that I’m long in tooth and mostly loading for revolvers I still get by with old school stuff, just takes more time.

Did you ever hear of Dangerous Dave/Old Western Scrounger.
He made a huge press...called the "rock Crusher" press.. you could load 25mm Puteaux shells on.
Dave has passed on now.
He was a real character.
He was a retired agency guy and friend with lots of good contacts.
Bought a 25mm Puteaux scope from him once.

Yup, that's the one I've got, along with a digital mostly just to keep it company....

That is just overkill.
I mean, who need more than one paint brush?

Actually, I have heard about him via the folks at HSM back when I was in Montana. CH is still making the Rock Crusher, all 8.25" stroke and 103# worth...if you don't mind the $1992 price tag.

No... what brand is that. Resolution on my screen is not sharp enough to read the writing.?

Belding and Mull?

Yep, Belding and Mull Visible Measure is correct.

Classic, have an old RCBS 10/10 from ‘60s, accurate as all get out. Going to use to double check loads from trickler
Balance beams don’t lie lol

Like I said in another post this old man is going DIGITAL.
I don't like the Chi-knees made RCBS auto trickler.
Canadian made is OK.
Buying a McDonald Innovations Digital V4 auto trickler.
Been watching them since the first proto type came out.
We'll see.

I use the rcbs for stick powder and I just use the measure on the Dillon rl550 for any ball powder.

Pharmacists used to use the 1/100 gram model, or they used to back in the stone age.
