The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

I received new to me in the post to day a Wamadet press. It looks to be in very good condition its got all sorts of goodies with it that I will probably never use.(May be) I don't have a user manual so I'm not sure what's what. Looks like its been used for sizing cast boolits its got top punches and sizing dies with it and other weird stuff. Any way moving on it looks like the priming arms are missing. Any body got any if so any chance of pictures and dimensions so I can make some.
I did a search to see if I could find any documentation on the forum all I could find was reference to swaging. Any help would be appreciated. I am well impressed with it though I can not wait to give it a go.

What are these items and how do they work. What are the two items in front of the press for.

I'd appreciate the info as well as I have a load of bits and pieces with mine.

Chris has a list of spare he may or may not have plus pictures and descriptions here: http://www.helstongunsmiths.com/default ... 43%3A25+AM

They are bullet sizing parts.

If you want to call round I'll show you how to set them up if you want.

Priming is done by inverting case over the tall 'things', placed in base and clamped. In the moving die holder is screwed a domed bar. The primer is rested on inverted case and the die holder brought down to press primer in. It does work but I use a hand primer!
Yes, other bits are sizer dies
I don't recall any instructions either when new from NDFs all those years ago!!
Hope this helps a bit!?

Which bits do you think are the priming posts?

All I see are bullet sizing parts.

I have the original instructions for the press and parts.

Priming posts are in second picture, wamadet.press.jpg. 2 x vertical steel rods displayed in front of press base. Pick best size for neck diameter

OK got that, missed them in the second picture with it being so small, just put the text down to Alphas usual rambling.

Yes those are indeed priming posts.

Thanks for the info. I must dig all the parts I have out and photo them. I only ever used it to reload never to bullet size or lube.
