Because the bullet is inserted into the Easy Seater Straight Line Seating Die above the press frame, you may sometimes find that once you have adjusted the seating stem down to give the correct seating depth, you can no longer get the bullet into the die window.  This situation occurs with short cases, long, deep seated bullets and  presses with long die threads.  An extended shell holder or our Ram Extension is used to solve this problem.  Extended shell holders are available but they are made for only a few cartridge heads.  Our Ram Extension allows you to make any shell holder into an extended shell holder.



1. Select the appropriate shell holder for the cartridge you are working with.
2. Slide the shell holder into the top or female end of the Ram Extension.
3. Use a 3/16 hex wrench to tighten the set screw in the center of the Ram Extension locking the shell holder in and centering it.
4. Slide the lower or male end of the Ram Extension into the top of the press ram as you would a regular shell holder.  
5. The Ram Extension raises the shell holder .750 inch so you will need to raise the micrometer top of the Easy Seater Die by this same amount.
