Ok guys....the lame question of the day. What the heck is an "Extended shell holder used for or why is it even made?" I mean is there some REAL practical reason or just for folks who are too lazy to pull the lever arm all the way down on their press?
Extednded sheel holder is necessary for use with RCBS .308 Win. Competition seating dies. The shell holder actually enters the bottom of the seating die.
May be needed in other (short) calibers as well; not used w/30-06 case lengths.
I've seen them sold occasionally and was just wondering what they were used for. I don't use or have RCBS dies so I would have never guessed. But thx for taking the time to explain.
