If there is anybody looking for a high quality, heavy cast iron reloading press there is a Herters Super O-3 on Ebay now. I have one of these presses and they are as good as anythng on the market today... I heavy, stout mutha. They use the funky Herters shell holders, but you can buy a gizmo from RCBS whereby you can use standard snap in shell holders.

The Ebay No. is 200150620953 and the auction ends Sept. 15 at 10:33 PDT

Say, I've got one of them Herter's Super O Maximum presses. Its a beaut. Also have the smaller No. 3 model as well...both used for swaging operations only.

Them funkey Herter's shellholders are really good for concintricity of ramming the cast bullets up into my swaging dies on my Lee Classic press. Had to ream out the Lee shellholder to accept them...works great. The Lee shellholder is a screw on or off affair. So you can return it to operate with the original conventional shellholder if one wants too.

Return to conventional shellholder can be done with the cut off piece that was discarded when making the Herter's ream out.
