Picked this up and it is missing the pins. Do any of you have this tool? Do you know the size of the pins, diameter and length it uses?

Thanks BPB

I don't know the size, but call RCBS and they'll send both sizes you need. Customer service 1-800-379-1732.
I asked about buying some parts for my powder measure bushing. The guy told me they don't sell them, but if I cave him my address
he'd have them out in the mail that afternoon.

By the way I have both types of primer tools they have. I love them both. I keep one for small primers and one large primers.

I'm looking for a second RCBS Universal capping tool, love the one I have, not having to mess with shellholders.
But I would like to be able to have one for large, one for small primers. Would save a bit of fussing.

Small pin:
.16405 diameter X 1.879 length in inches.

Large pin:
.19815 diameter X 1.870 length in inches.

My RCBS hand primer is 30 years old so the #'s may be a little off from one that is newer.

Well then, seeing my hand is bandaged up from surgery a call would be easier!

What are you using for that kind of accuracy?

Mitutoyo No. 293-761-30 It has been five years since I last had it certified, but for as long as I have owned it, it has never been wrong.

My RCBS hand primer is 30 years old so the #'s may be a little off from one that is newer.

My diameters are are essentially the same but they're a slight scooch longer.

Small pin 1.888 x 1.6301
large pin 1.882 x 1.9850

Thanks again guys! Ya know what stinks? I think I saw 2 pins before the move from New Yorkisstan & I tossed them in a bin. Which means it will be easier to make 2 new ones or call RCBS.
