Frankford Arsenal universal bullet seating die

[Mtns2hunt]

I am currently using the Universal bullet seating die from Frankford Arsenal. It works great with my 243, 30 06 and 7mm. However it will not adjust far enough down for the 22k hornet.

Anyone have a work around for this? Spoke to Frankford customer service and was advised it will not work on hornet brass as far as they know. Said that they are always upgrading but nothing so far. Looking for a work around as this die is very fast compared to stock. Thanks!

Depending on the press, I had to purchase a extended shell holder to use with my rcbs competition seating dies for short cartridges.

Thank you for your suggestion and taking the time to post a picture. I think an extended shell holder may work. Anyway it's certainly worth a try. I will order one this evening. Best!

I haven't used a Co-ax, but the way the shell holder works I don't know if the extended will function properly.

Update: extended shell holder works great. Highly recommed!

I have the Franklin Arsenal Universal Seating die. But haven't used it yet. A Guy give me a RCBS 204 Ruger Competition seating die. It had extended shell holder in the box.
