g. willikers- one would think so and so did I, but at times I would have to actually jam the slide down to get the shell holder to move out of the way. Sometimes it wouldn't at all. It wasn't the sometimes reported clearance issue, but in fact the failure of movement on that last 3/16 inch of stroke no matter how hard I tried. I could reach in and push the holder by hand and then it would move properly. Odd to me.
