Thanks, Jim Watson from Alabama. I never thought of using the shell holder from my press instead of the "dinky little collet." The shell holder worker beautifully.
I received a email message from the manufacturer straightening me out. I was trying to work the bullet first from above rather than just pushing the rim in from the bottom. That worked also.
Alabama! I was born in Birmingham, grew up in Greensboro, Tuscaloosa, and Birmingham. I attended and later taught at Birmingham-Southern College. My family settled in Ensley. As a young man I played first oboe in the Birmingham Symphony for two seasons. Where do you live?
Thanks for your help.
