I found this reloader at a garage sale this morning. It came from the estate of a 92 year old duck hunter that built it in the era when there were ducks.

It is obviously a one of a kind frame construction using parts from a straight line reloader. But, it has a twist. It will reload both 12 and 16 gauge shells with changing parts limited to the resizing ring and decapping pin. The remaining resizing ring is for 12 gauge as is the decapping pin spindle. The table has three 12 gauge and three 16 gauge shell holders with a 8 point crimp starters and final crimp stations for each gauge.

The stand is diamond plate steel. It weighs about 30 lbs. Pretty well rusted up, it will require patience to get everything moving again and working. A long cold winter project.
