Star Reloaders / Phelps For Sale

Several years ago I purchased my Phelps loader from my local Police department which I am presently retired from. The Phelps press was used for reloading 38 swc for the pistol team, our department purchased it 1955 and it still works today. I several powder bars for it and some extra springs. The press in mounted on a end table top with a drawer under it for catching finished bullets and spent primers. I am now 72 years old and now using my sons Dillon Square Deal B which works great. All reasonable offers will be considered. I paid $250.00 for the press and the extra parts.If interested just let me know, The press is heavy just like the Star's.

I only load pistol ammo, at one time I had a 550 B but gave it to my son who is big into rifle hunting. I think the square deal B will be fine for me. If you know anyone looking for a vintage Phelps send them my way, no reasonable offer will be refused.

Thanks for the info, I have a 2.5 bar and it is dropping 3.1 of Bullseye. I think I am going to sell my Phelps which was made in 1955. Then I'm going to buy a Dillon square deal B.

I also have a Phelps, it works great the guy I bought it from told me it was a Star, the thing weighs almost 35 lbs and is well made, I only paid $100.00 for it. Does anyone have information on the Phelps presses?
