Hello everyone,

I have an Auto-Champion Mark III inline reloading press. I inherited this press (and several other presses) and am not into reloading. I unfortunately don't have the time for it, despite its advantages, so I am looking to put a price tag on this press.

I don't know what dies or accessories it has on it, nor do I have a picture of it at the moment. But both of those items could be found out sometime soon. However, it is in pretty good condition just from looking at it.

There isn't too much on this press online, I haven't really seen too much information on it, besides that it is an older press and is of the inline style.

If anyone could help me put a price on this press, that would be much appreciated. Also, for the right price, if anyone on here might be interested in it, we could talk about working something out involving shipping.

Thanks

P.S. Also have 2 other presses I will be looking to sell. I have a MEC Grabber model 761r and also a pre-Hornady Pacific DL-366 progressive.
 
Determining it's value would be just a guess. Is it rusted? Are all the parts included? Does it actually work? Missing or broken parts could be a real problem since CH stopped making progressive presses 22 years ago and the last model they produced was the Mark V.

If it were me, I'd list it on eBay at a minimum of $200 and hope for higher bids.
 
Ok thats about what I was thinking. It appears to be in very good condition, don't seem to have any cosmetic or mechanical damage. Looks like its ready-to-go with all the proper components.
 
I have a Mk IV.
The priming system is simple and reliable relative to, say, Dillon.
The powder measure is cam operated and will drop powder even if there is no case under the measure.
The inline advance system is finicky to adjust and keep in adjustment.

I have not set mine back up in the new shop, just set up a Dillon head for .38 Special.

I'd put it up for sale. Mine is kind of neglected looking, probably not worth as much as yours.
