Does anybody know what these holes are on the front of the press? I tried Forster today but they were closed. I wanted to shorten up the swing and thought I would put a bolt threw there and be able to screw up jaw opening screw and it works pretty good. Shortened arm swing up quite a bit.

Wow -- great idea!
The middle hole is for the spent primer drop. The one you have the bolt through was originally for a jaw pre-stop so they didn't close and you could get cases in and out. Forster no longer uses it, but it's on my older Bonanza.
I have a throw limiter I got through flea-bay that goes on the back threaded "Spike." It does the same thing as the bolt you used in the first hole.
This is another way to fabricate a throw-limiter:

One of them is for the drop tube that goes to the bottle that collects spent primers.
Not sure what the other one is for.

Thanks, I was thinking of doing it like you have it also. yeh I was looking for the eBay limiter but appears he quit making them. But this seems to work great too.
