First press was the cheapest single-stage model Herter's offered. Wore it out within about 3 years, then purchased an RCBS Rockchucker--which I finally gave to a much younger handloader about 15 years ago. It was still working fine....
How did you manage to wear out the Herter's press so quickly?
I bought mine in the mid-60s and still use it. It works fine, and I have a bunch of shell holders. I keep it clean and lubed and never use it to deprime, so it doesn't get all the grit.
Stupidity has its way, while its cousin, evil, runs rampant.
