IMPORTANT ORDERING INFORMATION
The reloader parts are illustrated in two columns in order to distinguish the relative positions of the many
parts.
The parts terminating with the letter “U” fit the Universal or adaptable tool only. All other parts are
interchangeable. For example, the steel floor base for the .38 caliber tool is #12. Same part for the Universal or
adaptable tool is #12U. Buller seater #20 is for the 38 and 32 caliber and #20U is for larger calibers which
would be used on the Universal tool.
The Universal Reloader is distinguished from the Progressive Reloader by three No. 79U Shell Base
Locating Straps on the Steel Floor Base and Powder Slide Housing marked OO.
