Do Lee shell holders work in this unit?

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.

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

My RCBS press takes standard press shell holders. I do know that my Lee hand priming tool uses its own shell holders that cannot be used in my press. As far as I know, the Lee hand priming tool shell holders are exclusive to that unit only.

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.

the shell holders are universal, so I would say yes. I use the ones that came with my Lee unit.
756752
No. It requires the same shell holder as the RCBS press. I was surprised also.
756753
they do not work....Lee Shell Holder are flat on the bottom surface and the RCBS us the same shell holder as the press...so it has the retainer flange on the bottom....inaddition I have both the Lee and now the RCBS and find the RCBS to fit my hand better and smoother operation

unless you have a special press with special shell holders, all standard shell holders be it Lee, Dillion, RCBS...etc. will all fit in this hand primer. I have a universal shell holder kit made by China and they fit.

Assuming it is a Lee shell holder you may need to put some masking tape on the shell holder. Apparently the tolerance stack up occasionally conspires to give a loose fit.

Yes but not worth the money in my opinion I had two of them and couldn't even get 50 shells of 30 06 six done without the pin bending and snapping. No more lee for me. Lake city brass. I wanted to save wear on my CBS dies but it was of my time. To ken.t

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.

Works with ANY standard shell holder. I use Lee, RCBS, and some old ones that aren't even marked--or it wore off. For the money, this is the best on the market.

The number 10 shell holder can be used for .223 shells. You need a number 3 shell holder for .45 ACP and .270 Winchester.

With the proper shell holder, yes it will. Want to keep from breaking pins so easy? Just by a small hand press (Lee makes a good one) and use it for this. If the pin gets in a bind you can feel it easily. Plus you can decap your cases any where. I did about 300-308Win cases while watching a movie.

For the Lee Hand Primer there is this set of 11 covering most common pistol and rifle cases. You can buy individual shell holders for just the cartridges you reload. Some shell holders with fit several different cartridge cases. You can get the information you need about the shell holders (both for the hand priming tool the ones that fit the loading press) http://leeprecision.com/shell-holders/

I know that it will fit in a Lee Loading System. I think that all the loading systems are pretty much standard everything I have used has fit in my Lee System. I hope this helps. Bob H.

No,the shotlock locks into the receiver ,so you would have to remove the shell holder.

I haven't gotten around to using these Lee Carbide Dies but I have used Lee dies in the past with an RCBS Press and Dillon.I would assume they still work with no problem. Dies are pretty much standard size as far as I know. Some are taller than others but they fit the same hole in the press.

The rail system works with the sights for any pica tinny rail system. The shell holder does not interfere with the rail system.

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

If your shell holder is covering the screw on the rail, then yes. The rail utilizes the screw that is already there, you remove and re-install the factory screw is all so it needs to be accessible.

Normally, yes. However, some shell holders fit more than one kind of shell (e.g. .357 and .38). The case must be held very stable to prevent damage to the shell and to the die.

Yes and no... the Lyman All American press used the old J type shell holder and requires a J to X shell holder adapter to be able to use standard shell holders from Lee, RCBS, Hornady and Lyman, but once you purchase the adapter you can use any standard shell holder.

the one I bought will only take a Renegade 88 up to the pistol grip. Most offer add-on shell holders but are not OEM items.
