Will ANY shell holder work? I'm new to reloading can I use the Shell holder from my RCBS press or RCBS hand Priming tool on this?

Kurt, any standard shell holder will work. I use a rcbs shell holder in mine. If you buy this trimmer, understand that the pilot will come off with each trimmed casing. It can be annoying. Good luck and have fun.

The RCBS is not a progressive loader as is the Hornady so reloading should be faster and easier. I would read the reviews on Amazon for both before making a decision.

Lee makes two kinds of shell holders one for the primer placer, these are special and work only with the hand primer.The other shell holders will work in any standard press, they are for the most part universal.

I agree that these are shell holders are only for priming tools. you need to get trimmer shell holders for a reloading press.

No I don't think so. The hell holder that comes with the die set is for the press, the shell holders for the hand primer are different.

RCBS says you can use them, but you can't.. I use only RCBS shell holders .. This priming tool does work great though.

You will need the dies for you caliber and you will need a shell trimmer. I would get some extra she'll holders so you don't have to switch from primer to press.

I have a RCBS and bought the Lee Turret press,so far they have worked in both. I don't however have the Rockchucker, I have the next one down from it. Still works.

having looked at that model, the shell holder seat looks standard and it is Lee which means their die sets will work and i've never seen shell holders that were that proprietary. my rcbs stuff works in lee presses and my lee, pacific, and lyman stuff works in my rcbs equip. i believe you should be safe.

There are two different types of Lee shell holders, the ones that work in all of the presses- and those types will not work in the hand primer. BTW the hand primer works great except when you have not swaged military brass

Not needed. The Lee Safety Prime uses the standard shell holders for the press. The Hand Priming shell holders are specifically for use with the hand priming tool (where the primers are inserted seperately from the press, using a stand-alone tool). The Hand Priming shell holders are dimensionally different and are not as robust as the primary shell holders used for the press. I haven't actually tried to insert one of these in the press, so I don't know if it would even fit.

The RCBS dies should work with your press. Most dies are interchangeable and can be used with any press. I use RCBS, Lee, Forrester, etc. with my RCBS press. Your current shell holder should also work with a different brand die. You can also call Hornady to verify the setup you are wanting to use. There number is 1-800-338-3220.

Yes, # 16 RCBS shell holder is for the entire range of 9mm cases. I am using it for the 9mm Luger

Primers, primer pockets and priming tools are standardized so the answer is yes. You will have to purchase the appropriate case holder. This tool is for metallic cartridges, not for shot shell cases. From your question, I would guess you are new to reloading and suggest you get a good reloading manual.

a lee shell holder for a lee loader will. BUT lee also makes a shell holder for their own primer tool also. basically, it is the top part of a shell holder. no bottom (grooved ledge) . So, lee actually has two styles of shell holders. On a side note, i just sent back a lee hand priming tool AND the shell holders specific to it. it is a very hard tool to use. I'm not overly thrilled with the RCBS primer tool, but it works the best so far. it uses a regular bullet holder, either a RCBS or a LEE(that is made for the loaders, not the primer tool). hope that helps.

NO. The # 10 shell holder is for the 5.56 AR cartridge. You need the #32 shell holder.I have reloaded som 7.62x39 using RCBS dies. Remember most 7.62x39 rounds use Berdan primers and can't be reloaded: The can but it is a pain in the ---. There is 7.62x39 brass on the internet available that are Boxer primed and therefore can be reloaded. Caution: Some brass use large rifle primers and some use small rifle primers.Cut and paste the following for 7.62x39 brass: http://www.ballisticproducts.com/RWS-Brass-762-x-39-Unprimed-100_bag/productinfo/66476239/?EM130511A

YES and No: yes the LEE's in the shell holder set that are in the green box. The shell holders that come with the dies, no. The tolerances are tight. Also where you put the shell holder in this priming tool is a tapered edge, and the ones that come with the dies do not have the area cut out to accept the taper to fit in the hand primer. so you'd have to trim the bottom of the hole in the shell holder to make it fit which wouldn't hurt the shell holder.
