    Default Dunbar

    I bought a Dunbar 2 station press about a 6 weeks ago. I was told it was originally bought in 1952. I've used it and it's still doing the job it was designed to do. It's my first press so I have nothing to compare it to, just that it does get the job done. So far the 223 I've loaded shoot much better than any factory ammo.

    Ive just started Reloading a few months ago, but have had my dads Lyman Turret press for 15 yrs in a bin.... it came from him with 6 dies in it. 3 30-06 and 3 220 swift..... I have some ammo marked that he reloaded in the late 60's with it.... with the help of this web site, I ve been given good advice, and confidence, and started reloading 38 sp. and 357 mag and 45 acp's... all with great results. Thank you guys for being there. Lovin every minute of it, and feeling very connected to my dad.
