I have an RCBS and replaced the O-ring with an O-spring from ACE. No more replacing O-rings for me.
I called Battenfield Technology at 573-445-9200 they advised me the O rings cost .15 each.If you are like me and need new O rings it's the place to call
RCBS response...You use the shell holders if you
use the standard bullet puller with collets. Hope this helps...
So, for about $20.00 you get a kinetic bullet puller and 3 collets which will handle the same range of cartridges that are served by 47 of the designated shell holders (which would run you $420.65 if purchased from RCBS). If there was some compelling reason to use the shell holders, wouldn't they be pushing you to purchase them?
Well if the hammer type bullet bullers were ment to be used with shell holders they would be supplied with shell holders.
-- (We need a reality check on isle three, please!)
If someone is going to reload the cartridge he probably already has the shell holder.
And you may note that even the manufactors only have a dozen or so shell holders to deal with the full range of commonly reloaded cases.
Precious few reloaders would ever need anywhere near that many but, if they did, the multi-use shell holders would be a tiny part of their loading tools cost.
And there are other, less costly makers of shell holders than RCBS.
Exageration (sic) and stacking the deck never makes a strong argument out of a weak one.
