- The universal press fit is broad, but compatibility still depends on the specific press or accessory setup.
- The standard, non-extended design may not suit every reloading workflow or clearance requirement.
- Steel construction is straightforward and durable, but it does not add any specialized features beyond the basic shellholder function.
