I'm, currently, reading through, The ABCs of Reloading and I noticed that in the section about presses, it mentions the H frame reloading press. Specifically the CH/4D model No.444 "H" frame press.
Has anyone every seen or owned one of these or any other H frame press?
I've found the company site and it looks promising, but I'd like opinions and/or experiences please.
Look here: http://www.ch4d.com/
Thanks in advance for any help.

I was the C-H distributor in the 1970's and Modified the three position H press to be able to also hold a 4th taper crimp die for my Bullseye competition customers. The press is as solid as a rock without any flex and is the best press for the price that will last lifetimes without wear. When you pick up a cartridge with in seconds you will have a completely loaded round and it was a major advance over the 'C' and 'O' presses that created a single stage of reloading. It will take any standard die set you possess and I sold many hundreds of them and still use mine for rifle calibers and pistol calibers not loaded on my Stars and Auto Champ. CH4D is the current company after my C-H owner friend retired as I did also.
CH4D reloading dies and tools are like pick up trucks compared to RCBS as pretty cars. C_H has the strongest decapping shafts ever. I still have pistol and carbine caliber conversions for this press by C-H and primer feeding parts and for the Auto/Champ too and a hundred C-H standard heavy duty reloading dies in all calibers for lifetimes of usage.
Ask me or Search for the CH4D web site to learn all about this press that will well serve your family for generations with out wear. I wrote the reloading advice booklet "How To Live With And Love Your Progressive Reloader" included with all Autochamps after I wrote it for all progressive reloaders and you can see it sold on ebay as star0reloader0mentors. I recommend this press as the first press to own and use before a QUALITY progessive loader is needed by serious competitors.
