2alpha Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Anyone know much about the 450 jr? I picked one up and had never seen one before are there any upgrades for it? It's way different from the RL450 I used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 The 450 Jr was discontinued in 1993 or so. There are two versions. Version 1) 450 Jr- uses a 7/8-14 die in station 1, has a plastic funnel at station 2 so weighed powder charges could be poured into the case Version 2) 450 Jr B-available at the same time, added an optional manually operated powder measure to the machine The first two versions were replaced later by the 450 Jr C The C version used Square Deal dies and toolheads in stations 1-4. Threaded into the toolhead at station 1 is only the decapping assembly. The 450 Jr and 450 Jr B can load handgun in a mostly progressive manner. You manually set a primer in the cup, and either separately meter powder or use the "B" powder measure to manually dispense powder into the case. Station 1 has 7/8-14 threads, so you can use it as a single stage to load rifle ammo. The 450 Jr C is only capable of loading the same handgun calibers that are available on the SDB. Parts, other than frames, are available for both machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
