mikeh3 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I bought an old Herter's press awhile back and it came with a few shell holders and a RCBS shell holder adapter. Does anyone know what shell holders 27,19, 13 and #5 will fit? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the model number on this press and its a Super model 3, built like a tank, I use it for heavy work. I sure hated to see Herter's stop making reloading equipment. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceone Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 My first press was a Herter's also and I still use it even though I have several others, its still my favorite. riceone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've got one I used for reforming brass after I sprang my Pacific press out of alignment. I havent used it in years but I will never part with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I sure hated to see Herter's stop making reloading equipment. AGREED! I have a set of Herters micrometer dies that I love. I can get dead accurate on bullet depth. Very consistent production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Mike, since you've stumbled on to those old Herters shellholders, do you have any shellholders for a proprietary Texan press? I've got a dandy vintage Texan Turret but only one shellholder for .473" brass. That covers a lot but I've got 223 and 6.5x55 which have different rims.

Sorry THOR, I don't have anything for the Texan press. I do go to yard sales and flee markets and sometime see different presses. I'll keep you in mind and contact you if I find anything.
