CH/4D 444X Pistol Champ

I am interested in a CH/4D 444 for handgun cartridge loading. If anyone owns/uses a 444 press of current manufacture, I would like to find out how it performs, and how the quality of their dies compares with other companies.

The press appears to be well made, but I've no experience with the product.

Thanks,
JB

I had one years ago. Didn't like it. With four stations you had a lot to do between cycles. Also the locations of the various stations was odd. It worked ok but, well, I certainly didn't care for it. I wouldn't recommend it.

These are very well built presses and will last a life time. They are however different. While I like them I wouldn't suggest this press to anyone wanting more than turret press rates in volume.
