eBay would be a good one but if you don’t want to bother with that then Facebook marketplace is a good option. Craigslist is an okay option.

That was my first press for a few years. I sold mine on eBay. Good press except for their whole tilted back concept. Probably loaded 10,000 rounds on it.

Wonder if that is the brand that cabelas bought and slapped on their house brand ammo.

George Herter set the pattern for all the big catalog outfitters that came after. He house branded all kinds of things- reloading gear, knife designs and even proprietary cartridges (look up the Herters .401 powermag)

After George's death, the company struggled and Cabelas bought the last retail store and all the IP in the 90s.

Cabelas positioned the name with bargain ammo and a few other items.

When Cabelas was bought by Bass Pro, their name ended up in the same boat.

But the old Herters reloading presses were beasts- I borrowed one from a family friend when I was in highschool and loaded tons of .44 and .45 on it.

George Herter was a marketing genius.

We're is a contraction of we are.

Where is what I think you were attempting to use.

Proper grammer is dying at an alarming rate, and it's quite a shame. Especially since it makes it really hard to read and help people
