Press Identification

[britt2020]

Does anyone know who the maker of this press is? It has zero markings.

Bruno is my guess. They also made an O-Frame RFD knockoff that was pretty much the same.

Look the Harrel press.

The Harrell's is very different from the Bruno.

I’ve got a Harrell’s also. There are a few similarities in the main body dimensions, but thats where it ends. The Red one is heavier built and tighter tolerances. Mounting arrangements are different, leverage angles, ram length, handle mount, and die holes are all different. Here they are side by side.

Here’s a Bruno RFD knockoff O-Press. Note all of the similarities. Virtually identical to yours except it’s an O-Frame. I’m not positive but pretty sure I recall they had an open frame available at one point. John Loh was making the RFD’s at some point as well.

Same hardware and all. I sure appreciate the information. It seems to be well built. The Harrall’s has more feedback and keeps a pretty consistent leverage throughout the stroke. This one starts out heavy out at the top then by midway it feels good then it cams over pretty aggressively. It works great if you want to punch out some reloads, but if you’re wanting a feel for consistency it leaves some to be desired.
