    Can some of you guys post the inside hole diameter of some of your shell holders for RCBS, LEE, Hornady and Lyman?
    I've searched and can't find them listed anywhere. Not sure if they are all proprietary or not? I'm wanting to buy the Lee Classic 4-hole Turret and RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme press, but use the Lyman Case Trimmer. Since the holders come with the Lee press, I'm hoping I won't have to buy Lyman and RCBS case holders too.
    Also, I know the Dies will interchange, but will the LEE holders work with the RCBS press and visa-versa? I read some Case Holder Brands are thicker than other brands which may cause problems?
    Thanks

    Case trimmers and hand held primer devices sometimes use different shell holders than what are used in presses.

    Right, that's why I was wanting to know the ID of the shell holders of each manufacturer for compatibility of Case trimmers.

    So, if ya'll reloaders aren't busy, can ya'll Post the ID's please.

    Get the Lyman that has a cam lock, and you want need any shell holders, if you want to see one come by. Just my 5 cents jj

    Come'on guys, I know you have a set of calipers to get a quick measurement.
    Just a quick measurement of 1 shell holder each from RCBS, LEE, HORNADY and LYMAN. And maybe a DILLON too.

    Thanks

    Thanks Jester for posting the LEE and RCBS shell-holders ID.

    Okay, just needing LYMAN, HORNADY and DILLON.

    Just 1 of Any caliber will work.

    Thanks
