Herters C-Press

My dad gave me an old Herters cast iron press. It does not have any shell holders or an adapter for modern shell holders. Does anyone have a source shell holders that would work in this press?

    I adapted a ram end cut off from a worn out old RCBS Jr. press to fit into the ram and it is held in place by a set screw. I have used it that way for 20 years using standard shell holders. It was done with simple hand tools and a file. The HERTERS press is hell for stout and well worth the effort to use it. You could also use a ram extender and fit it into the Herters ram.

    I have some of the original Herters shell holders around here someplace.

    RCBS makes an adapter to use standard shell holders in the Herters press. #RCBS99200. Costs about $15
    I have Herters Shell Holders # 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 15 if you are interested.

    Thanks for the info. I have ordered an RCBS adapter. I can use all my current dies and shell holders in my dad's old press.
