Hello Scott, Check your e-mail. CH is now CH/4D as 4D bought the old CH Company out. Their dies are of a high quality and so are all their tools. They don't have the pricing power of the larger companies but that doesn't reflect on their product quality. 4 D also makes hundreds of reloading die calibers including wildcats. The H press is a very good press but is probably pretty uncommon today. It was made years ago to compete with the turrets that were popular back then. Progressives of the day were not quite perfected and left a bit to be desired in some areas. The Pistol CHamp version can be thought of as a semi-progressive press with some manual operations required. Best to decide what type of reloading you will be doing and see which press will satisfy your needs. You will need up to 4 shellholders for each cartridge you will load on the H press too. Sizing can only be done at the station between the two posts where it is the strongest and not prone to deflection. I like mine but use it mostly for small and moderate amounts of pistol reloading. The spacing between the die holes is a bit tight at times also. Regards :cool: |
I have an old 333 which is an older 3-station version of the CH H-press. Ending A Windows Installer Transaction Event Id 1042. It's the press I normally use for my pistol reloading (I don't have a turret or progressive) since I can have several dies stationed up at once.

When I started out I was in the exact same budget as you. If you are going to load the.308 and 45-70 you are going to need a good bit of muscle to full length resize the rifle cases, but.
It doesn't have quite as much leverage as an O-press like the Rock Chucker so full-length sizing long rifle cases is a little harder on my arm but the press handles it just fine. I've had no problems with mine and it's a good solid piece of equipment.simple and rugged. Two disadvantages to the 333/444 style presses: 1. Farmingdale Sharps Rifle Serial Numbers on this page. You need a shellholder for each station. (They use standard shellholders, you just need more than one) 2. Shuffling the cases from station to station can get tiring if you try to use it like a progressive (3-4 operations per handle pull). I use mine like a single-station press.
When I do a batch, I do each die as a separate step, finish the batch, move to the next die/step, etc. The only difference is I don't have to switch dies between steps. $50 is a very good price for a used 444. They sell new for $250-300. I don't think I'd pay full new price for one but for the price you've got listed you can't go wrong. If you don't like it you can always sell it and probably make a bit of profit. Click to expand.Got the CH 444 press all set up.
Have a Lee rifle decapping die I use on my military brass and it removes a lot of the crimp ring. What is the number of the Dremel cutter you use to remove the crimp? I also have a Lee powder thru rifle die I set up my Lee Pro Auto Disk powder measure on with the micrometer open all the way giving me a consistent 23.4 grain drop of CFE223 powder which is scary accurate in my 223. So far I like the old girl since she has four positions to work with if needed. • The Firearms Forum is on online community for all gun enthusiasts.
