    I'm thinking on bidding on a RCBS Reloader Special 2 Reloading press on EBAY. Is this a good press to start with I plan to use it to do .45LC rounds.

    Thanks

    Thinking of getting into reloading my own ammo; which is the one to buy? Progressive press, Turret press, or Single press? Looks like LEE has about the cheapest cost and RCBS the highest cost in most shooting supply catalogs with every one else falling in between. Thanks for the comments.

    Can some one help me identify a reloading press i have.It is green and very well built.I am sure its made of cast iorn.It is also very old because i bought it in an estate sale.I would guess maybe built in the 50s or 60s.The only indentifing marks says model 6.I have never seen one of these and would like to know if shell holders are still available for it.They are alot different than my rock chucker.The threads where the dies screw in are the same thou just a differnt type of shell holders thats held in place with allen screws.
    Thanks for any info you have.

    Obviously just guessing, but I'd guess that you have
    either a Herter press or an R. F. Wells press.
    Both were located in Minnesota in the 1960's.
    Herter's in Waseca, and Wells in Howard Lake.
    If it's a Herter's. RCBS makes a shellholder adapter
    that allows use of most current shellholders.
    A picture would help a lot.
    Best,
    Ken

    Herters were held in with allen screws. Adaptors are available to convert to standard shell holders.
    These presses were brown.
