This is a press I picked up a while back in Lewiston. I picked up a Lee Autodisk very cheap recently and added it to the press.I have it set up for 45 auto and 45AR as lately I've been shooting a lot of this stuff in my revolvers indoors. Video shows me loading ten rounds at a good pace but not trying to set records. Video  link shows 10 rounds loaded.Im using the H&G B68 bullet,Its a heavier 68 with added sort of boat tail. 

It  takes a bit over 10 minutes to load 50 rounds .if I add the CH auto primer later it might be under 10 minutes?

Man. You are up to 3 subscribers now. Better get some more videos posted!

Now...why are the dies middle, left, right in sequence?

 

With rifle in hand, I confidently go forth into the darkness.

back die is FL location because of rigidity and spent primer catcher. Left is where primer rod is.

Those are great presses, just like the later C&H 444. It was my first non-"C" press when loading for Bullseye Pistol.

It's my only "high volume" reloading machine.id like a 444 so I could crimp separately but used ones are quite expensive.

I just picked up a CH 333 Press this past weekend and it's missing the primer arm/nut, any help in locating the part would be greatly appreciated.  Also, anyone have a manual, diagram, ect any information about the press?   I'm recovering from the loss of my wonder wife of 54 years and really need this distraction.   Picked this one up for $50 on FB Marketplace.Thanks ahead of time.

All I found was parts for the 444.  Will those parts interchange?  Thanks.

Another question; will this press load rifle bullets?  I have a 38-55 I cast for and could clear up some bench space if it does. BTW, you really have a rhythm down in your video of loading 45.

Thanks for your assistance.  I'm not a novice but just really getting back into casting and reloading.

yes it can load rifle length cases. 

I bought the " Automatic primer" assembly and find it fussy .It's just as fast to just put primers in cup by hand.

For loading rifle I use a measure mounted like this and it worked great.

Here's the little gem I picked up:  Little surface rusting but some 4-0 steel wool will clean that up.

I just ordered the primer arm(s) should have them next week; thanks again for the heads up on parts.

BTW, if I don't like this press I'll keep you in mind.
