the description says all you need to complete the setup are dies. Does it require a shell holder too?

Yes, it requires a shell holder, which comes with a caliber specific die set. Hope this helps. Ted

The shellholder comes with the dies that you buy - ie if you buy a set of .45 acp dies the set will include a .45 acp shellholder.

You do not need one but it makes it a lot easier to do so. It comes with little plastic wire hold downs. They will help keep the wire pushed into the holder. A small flat head screwdriver should do the job. The little punch tools are nice, I horde them with my life when I do come across them.

No, one is sufficient. See Michael Walls answer for a good reason to have two shell holders. I also use two for the same reason

I just tried the RCBS shell holder and it fitted fine. Dies will fit too. So far I have only loaded 44 mag with this press but I have no regrets on buying it.

I do not have the shell holder as I do it by hand but I think it should work

You get the case tray and a reloaded bullet trat, u need a bullet tray for the left side and the tool bracket and tools. Ofcorse u also need the caliber dies for what ur teloading. Its a great system, works well when set up prooerly.

I don't know about actually creating the dies, but the plates for this embosser actually come separate, with mounting instructions. Each time you want to fit it in its case, you must remove them. So as long as you could create the whole contraption (plates, "arms" and all) it could easily be fitted in.

No, First guy is right, you need #32 holder (RCBS). Don't reload steel casings, they will ruin your dies.

No, you don't need to lube the dies as long as the ones you're substituting are Carbide. Yes, as long as you replace the shell holder and dies, the actual turret is universal. You should look in to other pieces like the shell pusher, depending on the size difference.

quite a few more items. At bare minimum you will need a set of caliber specific dies with a shell holder, a priming tool with a special shell holder, a powder scale, and of course powder, bullets, primers, case lube and a load guide. To be on the safe side, you should really invest in a quality dial caliper or micrometer for measuring case lengths, neck diameters and wall thickness. How familiar are you with reloading?

No. This device only inserts primers into the case. The shell holder is not the same as the one which comes with die sets or loader. It has a different width. It must be purchased separately for the specific caliber you are loading.

You just need the 9mm die set. The instructions for their set comes with the dies

You will need a SET of die's for the caliber you want to load and you will need the shell plate designed for that caliber. Someone said this item does not include dies and shellplate.

No it's just the press.. You gotta buy the dies separate. They do make a universal decapping die.. That just deprimes the case. You can deprime any caliber with that die.. You just need shell holders

It does come with a carbide resizing die which deprimes the used shell and resizes at the same time. It also comes with the powder die which drops powder and opens the mouth of the brass so you can fit the bullet head in. The last die is the bullet seating die which seats and crimps the the bullet head into the shell. You can use any standard size die in this press no matter what brand.

HI John , you will need to purchase dies separately . shop around for the best prices . also use a silver highlight to mark the cutting edge that is cover by the foam
