Pacific merged with Hornady a number of years ago. Hornady was strictly a bullet manufacturer and Pacific was a reloading tool manufacturer. They made a very good combination. I have used a lot of Pacific tool and still have a scale and a number of sets dies. They are first class.

Whats wrong with the Press ????? Froze up Ram ? Usually if you just take the whole press apart, clean each piece, get into the ram bore with a shot gun bore brush or anything that fits and clean it out good, use some carb cleaner or solvent and polish up the ram if it's scored or rusty, grease or oil it up and reassemble the machine, it should work fine. If your missing parts, thats another story, might have to make em....Unless you can find a parts press ....Good Luck ! "PJ"
