Bliss #7 Header Press...
Bliss #7 Header was designed to pocket and bump 20mm size cases. These machines are a general purpose machine that will head cases of lengths typical in the 20mm to 30mm range. These are horizontal, opposing direction, double crank units. One slide pushes the case into a supporting die and holds it while another slide with punch bumps into the exposed head of the case from the other direction. They are used for flattening a drawing (bumping) or pocketing and heading (forming the primer pocket and headstamp.)
