    Yeah, it's funny how many different names some things have. How about a burlap bag or gunny sack or croaker sack and probably other names depending on where you live.

    You will soon find that not all alloys or sizes are or will work with just a arbitrary 5/16 or 3/8" pusher.



    Having to size more. Amounts of of different alloys... will
    Leave unwanted deposits on your bullets. .

    A great idea! I would turn down push rods instead of using shell holders and welding to them. They may need to be hardened afterwards, but that can be done.

    You are 100% right. I hate those little set screws. I asked NOE to send me some more next time I ordered from them. They did, free of charge.

    Made them.

    But Using Kieths idea of O ring retention is a good one. No worries of movement.

    i've made push rods by annealing shell holders so that they are softer to drill the thru hole. turned down steel cold roll to the proper size needed. turned down the end to the size of the hole in the shell holder for a snug fit and use red loctite. sometimes you can find shell holders at gun shows cheap
