Bair Mach 12ga Reloader...... Up & Running

I bought a used Bair Mach 12ga reloader off of eBay about a month ago. This morning I set it up and started cranking out some shells.....



The Bair Mach is very similiar to the old Pacific DL-150 because Bair did all of Pacific's castings and machining in the 60s. When the 2 split, Bair marketed their own presses (thus the BLUE color) for a few years.... then quit.





This is a neat little machine. Very sturdy with little play in the linkage. It has a station for both 8 and 6 point crimp, and an open station if needed.

Lucky for me the shot bushing is 1-1/8oz and the powder bushing throws 19.5gr of Promo. This should give me about 1250fps.

Getting ready for the MSGO/Capital Gun Club mini M&G on Dec. 3rd.......................

Nice setup! That was an excellent e-bay find. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to post pictures of a Star I win off of there (probably be after Christmas though )

I really like those long shot and powder dispensers ... much better than the old Mec bottles .... All I have ever used were the MECs ... that one looks to be a little better built ....

Does anyone know what the marking --- 6263 on the bot of the charge bar means? it has a 1 1/8 also I guess the 1 1/8 means shot weight. However I dont know the powder charge. Also, can I get bushings for it? Thanks Geo.

1 1/8 is the shot weight. I think Hornady bushings will fit. Hornady bought out Pacific.

Missed this post a while back....makes me wanna go crank up the MEC.... used to shoot a butt load of 20's back in the day when I shot skeet a couple times a week...Handle aint been pulled on that mutha since I moved back from Chattanooga in '91

I'd be more motivated if it was a 12 or really motivated if I had one for 16's....man them mutha's hard to find

Nice machine there Sub

is there a site that gives actual data on the bushing ? ie: outside dia of the bushings? Thanks Geo.
