cervusman Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I have a Bowman press that’s has been professional modified to pre crimp for 8 star as well as 6. The handle has also been worked to made it easier to work with the bigger cases. The press comes set up for 12b with 5 support dies for different case lengths. It comes with a conversations kit to load 20b, a conversation kit for 16b, ( not shown in the pictures), a conversation kit to load up to 3 1/2” 10b cartridges. There are over 25 powder bushes and 7 different shot bushes, plus wad guides. Shot and powder bottles included. It a job to know how much to price this as there’s so much in the kit but I think £400 isn’t out of way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lksopener Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 These aren’t great and no spares anymore. Be better off with a mec, be luck to get £50 for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cervusman Posted April 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) The press normally comes with only 1 support die in 12b, this has 5 for different length cartridges, so no messing about adjusting the press, they come with only 2 or 3 powder bushes, this has 30+ powder bushes, which are £6 each for a Mec, plus 7 shot bushes, Mec shot charge bars are £21 each. Conversation kits for a Mec are around £95 each, this has 3 conversation kits. I can load just as fast with this press as I can with a Mec.
