Will Hornady shell holders work or do I need to buy Lee?

I don't know for sure if the Hornady shell holders will work. Call the customer service people at Lee, I'm sure that they would be able to tell you if they will work or not.

I would say no because different companies use different numbering systems and maybe even offsets for the thru holes. Lee has some excellent products including shell holders and carbide dies. I just matched everything to Lee products and could't be happier. But, I had no pre-owned shell-holders for the caliber I started reloading with the handpress. Hope this helps. I like the Lee products myself.

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.

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.

Yes. Though I have not reloaded shot gun shells, you will find that lee dippers are a great tool. Number on handle of dipper is then identified in lee reloading manual. EXP. if you use unique powder and want 11.9 grains you would use the 1.3 dipper. after I measure once to double check and its where I want, I just use the dipper to add powder. Its that simple. But you need to get a lee reloading book for shot guns shells. Good luck.

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.

the shell holders are universal, so I would say yes. I use the ones that came with my Lee unit.

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

You will have everything, but shell plate holders and caliber specific dies. However, I would suggest the upgrade for the operating handle.

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.

OK, I have never thought of mixing. That said, go to some place like Cabela's and check the die diameter and thread type. I've been reloading for a long time and never mixed Dillon, RCBS, and Lee. I do know that Lee states in writing to only use Lee shell holders on Lee presses. To be positive, find a reloading supply house or range and ask an expert. Bring your RCBS dies and try (carefully to insert them in a Lee press.

I purchased the Blackhawk Butstock Shell holder for my Mossberg 500. That model should fit most "standard" gun stocks.

You will need a 9mm shellholding plate, 9mm size/depriming die, a 9mm case flaring die, a 9mm seating die and a 9mm crimping die. I got the hornady seat/crimp in one die, to add a bullet feeder eventually. The powder drop is pre setup for any bullet to automatically fill :) any more questions, just ask!

John, according to their web page, they will work with the Breech Lock Hand Press. It will accept a 7/8ths - 14 threaded die. Hope this helps. I would call Lee to verify.

You should only need the .45 acp Lee die set.... the .40 dies just screw out and the new ones will screw in... As for the shell plate you will need one sized for .45 acp

Yes, you need the shell holder. The 4die set includes the crimp die which removes the flare from the case mouth and crimps case mouth around the bullet while maintaining a sharp edge for proper head-space. The 3 die does not have it but it combines the seating and crimping together.
