Problem Solved!!

I wrote a post a while back asking about an adaptor die for raising my pistol expander die so I could use it for a rifle case. (35 Whelen) theperfessor responded, and made me a die.

Here is my die totally out of adjustment:

First, remove the adaptor from your Rockchucker press:

Then, adding the perfessor adaptor:

The Die in place:

...and ready to go!:

I was unable to get a clear close up of the case after the "bell" was applied, but it worked PERFECT! My idea was that not only can I use this for a 357 pistol die to a 35 rifle case, I should be able to use a "Short" Lyman M die for "Long" applications, and other uses that could obviously come in to play further along in my loading adventures.

I will add that this die will be available from theperfesser. Please contact him for further pricing and availablility.

Glad it's working for you! That extender is a 1 1/4-12 external thread with a standard 7/8-14 internal thread. I'm also making a couple 7/8-14 external to 7/8-14 internal extenders for standard (non-Rockchucker) presses for another member here. Same principle, different threads on the press end.
