    Yes, I had an RCBS one in the 80s and never had the slightest problem.

    I'm thinking I could probably dremel the edge of the collet sections so that they will fit the extractor groove and hold more securely.

    Replace the collet with a shell holder

    Good idea. have to wonder why they provide those fiddly 3 piece collets which need to be held together with an o ring.

    I saw the post about using a shell holder instead and thought "That won't work". Tried it and it DID. worked a treat.

    I guess they use collets to give the maximum versatility so the owner can pull every caliber without having to buy the apropriate shell holder. Not everyone uses single stage presses so won't have individual shell holders for the caliber they want to pull.
