I got a Hollywood turret press the other day but it's missing a few parts.
Some are easy to figure out but the 2 links are a little harder anyone have press that can tell me the dimensions of the links. thanks Ken

Which style press do you have --- the older upstroke Universal turret or or the later downstroke Super turret?  I have both and can measure links for you.

Ken, you might also check in over at the ARTCA (Antique Reloading Tool Collectors' Association) website.  There are several enthusiastic collectors of Hollywood tools out there, and I'm sure they would be able to help you out as well.  That's a good resource for all of us ASSRA types who need obsolete reloading equipment in obscure calibers!  Cheesy

I finally got around to measuring the links on my Hollywood Super Turret.  I am attaching a pdf of the drawing.  About the only thing critical is that the hole size and spacing has to be identical on both links and the thickness is necessary for a good fit.  Good luck with your restoration.  They are a great reloading tool.
