    Default Herter's press shell holders

    I recently got a Herter's reloading press at a garage sale (cheap) and it came with numerous shell holders. Unlike my RCBS press, the shell holders are not the same size. #1 vs #1 and so on. No manual was included so I don't know what number on the shell holder matches the caliber I want to load. Can any one tell me what shell holder match up per caliber? I have #1,3,4,5,6 11,15, and 21. thanks

    Got this from another forum. Can't attest to accuracy:

    #1 = 30-06 head size.
    #2 = 30-30 head size
    #3 = 30-40 Krag
    #4 = .22 Hornet
    #5 = .222/.223 Head size
    #6 = .38/.357
    #7 = .45-70, .378 Weath/.460 Weath.
    #8 = Most H&H based Belted Mags
    #9 = There isn't one, because of 6 confusion?
    #11 = .218 Bee, 25-20, 32-20
    #15 = .30 Carbine
    #18 = Weatherby belted mags
    #21 = 6.5x55
    #22 = .44 Spl/.44 Mag
    #26 = 6.5 Jap/Carcano/.220 Swift/7.65 Belg
    #28 = .444 Marlin

    #12 348 Winchester
    #19 9mm Luger
    #23 45 Colt
    #24 45 Auto Rim
    #25 380 Auto/38ACP
    #27 .41 Magnum.

    You can also get an adapter to use the current 'X' style shell holders in the Herter Press

    After my 45 min Obsessive-compulsive search of the web, the above is all I could find also...

    Question Re: Herter's press shell holders

    Don't much know about the shell holders, but I have a set of .32-20 dies which are missing the decapper. All three dies are in pristine condition (not in a Herter's box, regretfully).
    I'm interested in finding out what the set is worth.
    Anyone in the market please contact me and I'll gladly take and supply photos.
