Here is an ad for my loading press and dies. This ad is a copy from Outdoor Life magazine, dated December, 1957. I didn't purchase mine, the magnum model shown until 1964. I also purchased the dies shown, in 30-06.
This was America's number one choice. It must have been, because see, it says so right in the ad!
Actually, there is a lot of heavy steel in that press and one would be hard pressed to say he could see any wear on it, after 46 yeas of use. Oh, there's the marks where the handle has bottomed out a time or two. I also notice the paint is wore off the front left hand corner. This is because before I had a lube and sizer, I would put a gas check on that corner, then push a cast bullet into it!
The dies too, have stood up perfect, with not the slightest sign of a problem with either press or dies. Many other makes of dies have also been used in it.

It has never needed a repair or replacement part, and I suspect it never will.
