Here's my Herter .401 Power Mag.and a Herter double ram press for rifle cartridges.I've been using Herter reloading equipment since the late fifty's.
Herters Reloading Equiptment ?
- Thread starter JD 500
- Start date
I have been told that Herters' reloading equipment was designed by a fellow named Wells, who went off on his own about 1962 and sold similar equipment as "R.F. Wells, Howard Lake, MN'. My buddy and I bought a big C press, a set of '06 dies, a powder measure and scale for the grand sum of $42. The press by itself was $12.65 according to the old Rifleman ads I have.
I'm still using it. The shell holders are different still from Herters', and hard to find. I was able to contact the original firm that actually made the equipment a few years ago and pick up a shell holder I needed and some odd parts they had left on hand. As I recall they said that was all they had left.
I have a Rockchucker but actually prefer the Brown Monster, for nostalgia if nothing else. Sometimes I wonder if I should have a new custom ram made to accept RCBS type shell holders. The thing is indestructible...

They had some mighty fine looking rifles. The ones that impressed me were made by BSA( if my memory is right). They were full of desired features.

You can get Herter shell holders and I think adapters for RCBS shell holders from Vega Tool Co. http://www.vegatool.com/
