Will this RCBS hand priming tool with with Lyman shell holders?

Not sure with Lyman. Work with Lee and Hirnady, etc. I thought shell holders are all made to the same spec' s

The priming tool has adaptors for large and small primers and they each have an area that funnels into the base of the shell holder. With RCBS shell holders I've had to drill part of that base area on a couple of them in that center area to enlarge the width of the hole. Fairly simple. I do have some lyman holders but havent used one yet so I dont know if they will fit easily over that funnel, but the base part should be the same as RCBS. It has worked with a Lee holder I've used so I'm thinking all of them are basically the same. The Lyman holders fit easily into my RCBS press.

Will work with any universal shell holder, I've used RCBS, Lee & Hornady in mine. Lyman should work also.

This is a great tool for priming the best I've found they work with all standard shell holders except for the lee shell holders made for the lee hand priming tool.

Yes: Any RCBS, Hornady, or Lee should work you'll need them to reload, so shouldn't be a problem.

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.

Depends on what machine you are using. Lee makes two different sets of shell holders. The red box works only with the hand priming tool. The green box will work with any of the loading presses. I have a Lee classic turret press and the green box is what I needed but the description on the red one said it would work with the press. It doesn't. So if you are needing shell holders for one of the Lee press reloaders buy the green box, not the red one. I'm new too and was fooled by the description.

Its a universal fit shell holder. A little awkward to get used to.. will not work with the primer still in the brass

Any RCBS press that I've seen uses the standard dies, an example being the Rockchucker Supreme. The Lee dies fit nicely, I also buy the Hornaday locking rings which sets the depth. The set screws seem to hold a better measurement than the standard Lee Precision locking ring with the O-ring.

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.

I use this tool in an RCBS case prep machine. I hand prep my brass for the first 250 rounds of .308 and then bought mine. Takes only seconds per case and my hands don't hurt anymore.

Unfortunately no. I had to buy a separate RCBS shell trimmer and order optional bits for more calibers.

I can't answer for a fact, but these universal shell holders will fit all my devices including Dillon, Lee and Lyman ST. They fit all standard reloading presses. I am not familiar with the Hornady case trimmer, but by all accounts, they should fit if the trimmer takes standard shell holders. My Lyman case trimmer is a universal and uses no shell holders.

It works with the RCBS press. It's designed to pickup primers from a feed tube and place them under the shell holder in the press. You then lower the the press which has the shell captured by the shell holder. Continued down pressure of the press inserts the primer into the primer pocket of the shell casing. You now have a primed shell.

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.

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

Usually you need one type of shell holder for the press, that is caliber specific, or that fits the base of the case. The other type of shell holder is shorter and fits the hand priming tools, looks similar, but without the step on the bottom

Hey dude, the RCBS should do just fine. But you should check to make sure the primers are seating deep enough, sometimes the new brass is tight or the fired brass can have a carbon coating in the pocket clean them very well. Some guys have had problems with all Lapua brass, I have not. Good luck and becareful.

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 - it should work fine - according to the instruction manual "The Universal Shell Holder accepts cases from .32 ACP to .45-70 Gov't. Simply install the proper threaded primer seating plug and primer feeds for large or small primers and you are ready to prime your cases."
