Belding and Mull Parts for #26/28 Press, B&M

[mtnman31]

Looking for a die set for the B&M #26/28 in-line reloading tool.
I recently got a nice B&M reloading tool (can't tell if it is the 26 or 28). I'd like to get a set of dies and parts for it so I can try it out reloading. It did come with the cradle/"shellholder" and it appears to fit cases of the 30-06 family.

If you have a set of dies and components for the B&M tool that you are willing to part with, let me know. I've got a variety of cartridges I shoot and don't have a particular cartridge in mind - I mostly just want a cartridge that I can reload and shoot. Because of the age of the tool, I'm not even certain what cartridges they made parts kits for.

Thanks in advance.

The easy way to determine what B&M model you have is the length of the base the attaches to the bench. The Model 26 base is shorter and ends a few inches past the handle's link bolt. The Model 28 Improved reloading tool's base extends further back, ending almost to the end of the lever's ball handle. This is according to my 1941 edition of Belding and Mull hand book of reloading. There's photos of both of them and details of how to use their equipment.

Here is an free online copy of their handbook, page 20 and 21 has photos that will show you which model you have:

Thank you. It is a model #28, with the longer base plate.
