Shellholder question

[winwun]

On some 9mm pick up's, I have had the sides of the case rim rip off on resizing/decapping. Not fun. I use a Lee carbide 9mm die. I notice the #19 shellholder is the same one used for 40's, and the 40 fits nice and snug, whereas the 9 is significantly more loose. Is there a shellholder I can use for the 9's that fits like the #19 does for the 40's ?

Look at the RCBS shellholder No 16 listed for 9mm. RCBS makes them to closer tolerances which means you have to buy more pieces, but it is a help when you need a closer fit. Same shellholder for 9mm and .40 is ridiculous.

Jim, Thanks A Lot ! ! I really appreciate the info. I owe you one. I'll buy your lunch someday, should our paths cross. Thanks again.

I'll be at the IDPA match in Manchester, Tenn. on Saturday.
I bet Mikey knows a good place to eat.
Yum, yum.

Sorry Jim. While Manchester isn't all that far away (I frequently hunt at AEDC), I will be spending the day Saturday at Calfkiller hunting preserve south of Monterey. Catch me some other time. I'm serious. Thanks again.

Jim -- I got the #16 RCBS at the gun show this morning.
give me an address and there will be a #19 Lee on its way to you. Thanks again.

Thanks, but I don't need a .40 shellholder. Don't own a .40, don't plan to.
Ate at Crockett's Roadhouse after the shoot.
Bleah.
Except for the company of shooters, I'd have rather Wendy's next door.
