[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 951210, member: 25383"] it takes a pretty good drill press to drill out the bore, or better yet an engine lathe. The hardest shell holders I've drill out are from Lee (they look like they are nitride hardened, and that seriously hard). I think I either used an 8mm hi-roc drill or something in the .320" range. I have used cobalt on RCBS holders, but the drill bit doesn't last long. There's a guy selling the Forster type in Ebay, but I'd stay away from them as they are not well finished. The hi-roc drills work better and drill a rounder hole without wondering off to one side. Remember that no matter what brand you are reworking, the only metal your going to be removing is the hardened part. gary [/QUOTE]
