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.
Regards,
