RCBS Universal Holder Issue

[panzermk2]

Ok recently RCBS has started shipping their Trim Pro 2 with their universal chuck. This does not always hold the 5.7 very well.

Who here has had the universal holder, removed it and installed our plate?

Once you take of the universal holder what is needed to then mount a conventional plate to the trimmer?

I am waiting on my holder from you guys for my RCBS. I also purchased a Lyman with the universal holder, but it has not got here yet.

I had a long back and forth conversation with an RCBS rep on the subject of reloading for the 5.7x28mm. My problem at the time was getting a high percentage of my brass stuck in both RCBS and Lee dies. So he sent me their spray lube and a #45 shell holder and asked me try them both free of charge. This shell holder was not the #45 shell holder you can purchase. This shell holder had the #45 etched in a different area. It must have been a new one they were planning on selling. This was around a year ago. But after those two components, I had zero stuck cases. That shell holder fit very tight and like a glove. No more rims being torn up. The lube was a good lube as well. So I'm not sure if these new and improved shell holders are out there yet, but that one made all the difference in the world!

Cool, also running some Mothers polish inside your sizer on a cloth patch helps .

I’ve encountered similar issues with the RCBS Trim Pro 2 and the universal chuck not holding the 5.7 securely.

Yes this is an issue and it's hard to find now older Trim Pro 2's that use the plate system.

Made worse by the fact I/EA no loner make the plates. Our last run of plates took 10years to sell out.
