When I read the ITAR regulations it was clear by my interpretation of them they never covered reloading equipment except "automatic reloading equipment" so as long as the reloading equipment was manual "handloading equipment" it was excluded.
Ordinary dies, presses, scales etc did not require an export permit.
Now I seem to recall that these regulations changed recently and now most firearms related items that were covered under ITAR are now covered under Commerce dept.

Don't get me wrong brass and bullets did require an export permit under ITAR but "handloading equipment" did not.
I also found this on Benchrest Bulletin

Although there were some countries nothing could be exported to without a permit and if you applied you most likely wouldn't get one.
Most didn't want to try and interpret the laws so just put a blanket rule in place.
