Just curious if anyone has every heard of this brand of reloader, a local pawn shop has one with a bunch of accessories and powder measure for $80. It looks like it might have been made in the 50's and it's built like a sherman tank. I know you can buy Mec's cheaper, but I'm still curious about it. It has four stations in a line and an auxilery base for the powder measure and I believe the shot charger.

If I recall correctly a chap named Deitemeyer from Lincoln, Nebr., started building and selling shotgun shell reloading equipment back in the 1950's.

He sold quite a few of them; then, I think, he may have sold his patents and inventory to Pacific. That may have occurred in the early to mid-1960's.

I'm relying strictly on recall here, have no printed verification to back it up. And that was a long time ago. Some one from the Hornady company (of Grand Island, Nebr.) might be able to give you the straight scoop.
