Okay, I'm getting a Pacific. Its coming to me on the cheap from my boss. Still new in the box. He wasn't sure which one it was because he has a bunch of them. It is for the 20g only.

I know these are good presses but can I find parts for it?

I will know Monday which press it is. Hoping for a 366! i would be happy with a 105, I'm not picky, cheap is cheap and I will use it.
 
Depends upon the model. Hornady should have plenty of parts available for the 366. You will probably have to search e-bay for 105 parts. Good luck!
 
My biggest concern is the bushings. I hope they are in the box. I'm seeing bushing sets on ebay but they are not cheap.
 
if you've never use a 366 be aware.. if you operate the handle with no hulls in place,with the powder and shot turned on, you WILL be cleaning up a mess.
This usually happens when u are setting up for a new load, and only using one hull in the carousel to do it.
A lot of people mount them inside a pie pan,etc to catch the dump.

don't ask me how I know this, lol

All you need is a single Pacific/Hornady bushing to get the external dimensions from. After that you modify the exterior of common MEC bushings to fit your machine, which in my experience is very easy. The bushings may not use the same numbering system, but that simply means you use the MEC bushing charts, which are much easier to find.
 
Awesome! I have access to a Bridgeport and a lathe so I should be able to make that happen easily
