Who can do it

[misser]

by chance its there a place I could send the RCBS JR press to get it machine to accept the Hornaday lock and load die holder?

I don’t have a junior to look at but does that that big nut that the screws in to?

 

[WSnyder]

Isn’t the lock and load die holder 1 1/4-12 OD thread that fits into most presses when you remove the 7/8-14 x 1 1/4-12 die bushing?

 

[M-61]

Look like this?

 

[M-61]

The only one I know is different is the RCBS A-4 Big max.
But then I haven’t looked at every press ever made.

 

[M-61]

7/8-14 is about the universal die size except some foreign odd stuff and a Hollywood Senior

 

[M-61]

If it does they sell the interrupted thread bushing and you don’t need anything but a socket to make the change

 

[M-61]

I’m done

I don't think the rcbs jr. had the screw in insert.

Looks to be true. If so IMO the cost to pay someone for the setup time and work time to bore and thread will be more costly than what it would be to buy another press with 1 1/4-12 thread capability.

From Ebay RCBS JR for sale:

If it is a matter of drilling and tapping it for 1 1/4 12tpi, I could set it up on our big horizontal boring mill and do it.

But to be brutally honest, the easy part is actually doing it. The had part is having to box it up and take it to UPS or the Post Office to ship it back.

I sent a Dillon vibratory case cleaner to get up graded from Florida to Arizona and it was $60 one way. $120 round trip and machining, WSnyder may be right. But me I would do it my self and have twice that in tooling.

Zero has a tap for 26.99 bolt depot has one for 162.99 nothing could go wrong there.

Not sure about the JR press but the Rockchucker will accept the Hornady screw in adapter. Don't really see why the JR would not.

The JR does not have a 1 1/4 12 TPI insert that the Rock Chucker has.
