Bonanza 68 Press?

[Nowhere Man]

I came across a Bonanza 68 press at a local GS today. Does anyone know if dies and shell holders from any current mfg will work with it? The thing is a tank, looks great and will fit my bench but if dies and shell holders are proprietary, I'll pass on it.

Thanks, Dave

It uses standard dies and shell holders.
Just take a die and a shell holder with you if you buy it.

It's my go-to press. Takes any RCBS, Lyman, Lee, Redding, etc. standard dies and shell holders. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but it's a full "O" frame press, and I like the priming system better than anything else I've tried. One primer at a time, no tubes to jam up, good feel and good finger access. I have a Rock Chucker, but the Bonanza is the one I use.

Bump.

It definitely said "buy me" but I resisted the temptation. I'm sure I'll regret my descidec.
