I'm afraid you're out of luck on that one. The pushrod normally fits in where a standard universal shell holder does on top of the ram on a single stage press. There's no such thing on a progressive press.
You might be able to take a spent 40 case to a machinist and have him machine a steel pushrod with a 40S&W rim and extractor groove so it will fit your shell plate just like a cartridge. Otherwise, there are a lot of uses for a single stage press, even when you have a progressive press. This is certainly one of them. Andy |

One what? Pushrod that works in the shell plate, or single stage press?

Call Dillon
