So I have no clue where all the reloading supplies have gone too. This is nuts. But you cannot find hardly anything that's related to 'popular' cartridges.

That said, I need to start reloading for 9mm. Finally was able to come up with a sizing die and crimp die, but cannot find shell holder of ANY make to fit the 9mm.

Is there another shell holder that is pretty close to being able to hold a 9mm with some modification?

Thanks.

Yea, trying to get it all on one order from one place. Don't feel like paying extra shipping charges and such. Just looking for modifications. Or, a modification for the lee autoprime holders to fit a press.

Unless I am looking at this the wrong way, I am thinking that a Hornady #7 could be modified. Lee says the 9mm will fit in their #6, which is the equivelant to Hornady's #7. For the 218, 32/20, and 25/20. I imagine that Hornady's would be a tighter fit, but just have to be opened up a little.

They have those in stock.

If you need reloading supplies check out CH4D company. website is ch4d.com, they make everything you need , call and place an order and in 2 or 3 days it arrives. Prices are right and they don't gouge you on shipping....nice people to do business with.

C-H has been in the reloading equipment business for quite a while and they produce some top end products. They make an excellent 4 station "single stage" press that's on my bucket/wish list. All the C-H equipment I own is top notch (2 old single stage presses and an excellent powder measure).

Shellholders, in my experience are a good quality tool steel, hardened. So modifying one is way up on the tough to do list.

Shellholder for a single stage press? Have to look, but I'm pretty sure I have a few spares. Send me a PM.
