Will it take rcbs shell holders and rcbs standard dies ? Especially for 9mm reloading?

Absolutely! This press takes standard shell holders and dies. It's especially nice for pistol loading since multiple steps are often needed (say, separate seating and crimping) and you can just rotate the turret with the cartridge in place and not have to do a totally separate stage.

It will take any standard 7/8" dies which are about 97% of what is out there, I personally have LEE, RCBS, Lyman, Bonanza, and Dillon. They all fit without issue.

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.

This very sturdy press will handle RCBS shell holders quite nicely among several others.

Buy the kit for the 223 you can go to 9mm with new dies and shell carrier 223 is the biggest this line of reloading press can handle

Yes, I've loaded both 9mm pistol and .223 rifle and plan to pick up dies for .45, 30-06 and 7.62X39. You'll need dies which usually include the shell holder. For rifle ammo you'll need case trimming tools etc. I get all my load data from the powder manufacturer's web site and take recommendation from the rep at my local gun shop on types of powder. There's also a lot of good reloading videos on you tube to get some baseline information in lieu of printed literature.

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.

Yes, it takes any standard dies from any manufacturer. I've worked with everything from lee, RCBS and Hornady, up do fancier stuff like Dillon and everything works like it's supposed to.

YES< you may use most ALL standard dies. The RCBS is made with the 7/8 standard threads!

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

As long as the press will allow the die to install you will be okay. I use RCBS dies in a Lyman press and have done so for years. I recommend using the RCBS shell holder as well although I have been using a Hornady die with a RCBS holder and it seems to work okay.

Out of the box it can reload only 45ACP brass. I purchased an additional shell plate which will allow reloading 9mm brass (I also ordered the appropriate 9mm dies and small primer feeder). I think each plate can accommodate several brass shell sizes.

Yes. I have them on three RCBS sizer/neck sizer dies, .222,.223 & .243. The only difference is SmallBase dies are that they bring the case back down to minimum dimensions. You'll like it!

Yes you can. The only RCBS shell holder that I have is a #6 and it works just fine. All of my other ones are Lee. Once you learn how to set it up, make some shells that you will use for gauges. That way the next time that you reload that caliber, the set up is quick and accurate. Properly used, this is an excellent and very accurate trimmer.

It's a standard thread pattern common to all dies. I actually use a Hornady loc-n-load quick change adapter in my RCBS RCII so it should work fine for you too.

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.

I have both a Lyman and an RCBS press. I have never had a problem with dies fitting either press. I believe that dies all meet some industry standard for threads. I have never found one in the past 20 years for reloading that was a different thread. I also own those dies and they fit my Lyman press.
