Bullet guide

[nativecat01]

I have an rcbs Single stage press. My problem is that my arthritis is causing me terrible problem to hold onto the bullet and I am starting to crush a lot of cases. I just can’t get the smaller bullets guided into the case. I don’t shoot enough to get a progressive press And I cannot justify the cost. Is there some kind of bullet guide or bullet seater that would work with my single stage press

My AmpMate doubles as a Rock Chucker loader now too...

I know of no loading automation for bullets on a single stage press available today.

If you have kids and they are still around put them to work.

It would be great to have something that is automated but all I really need is something to guide the bullet into the case. I don’t have any kids but if I did I would probably have to reload for them also

Belling the case mouth will make it easier to set the bullet and it will stay there. Easy to do with pistol cases with a separate case mouth belling die which comes with most die sets.

Not sure if there is such a thing for rifle cases.

Here is one option:

Universal Case Expanding Die - Lee Precision

Lee Universal Flaring Die gently flares the case mouth to accept cast bullets without shaving. Includes neck plugs for .22 cal through .45 cal

I don't use one.

My hands are not strong enough to hold a pistol anymore so all I do is shoot rifle

Not sure what caliber your running but Rcbs gold medal seating dies have a window in the top to drop a bullet in it stays there till you raise the case. Works great on the little flatbased bullets. I think the new frankford arsenal universal die or whatever its called is the same type deal.

I looked at the matchmaster and that looks like it’s going to be the ticket thank you

If you are using flat base bullets switch to boattails. Also the new Lee collet dies claim to flare the case mouth.
