On the Ch 333 press, are they steel or aluminum?
Thanks

I have a 333 and the CH Champion "O" frame press - the standing deck heights are the same, so I use the 333 at the range and don't have to readjust my dies.
The 333 is steel with bronze bushings and it is a beast.

I have a 333-3 stage. It is die-cast aluminum.

Which 333 model? I found out they must have had 2. One aluminum, one steel. Pne of these 333 models had a flat extension to the top plate and to the slider that had a vertical hole in it for something, I'm guessimg a primer feed system. I called Ch4d and they thought alll 333 presses were steel and had no idea about that extra hole.

AFAIK, the 333 was available in one model only. Many of the parts, top plate, platen, etc, were interchangeable with other models. Edit: the "extra hole" is for the powder measure

I had a shotshell loader that was built on the same frame.
