I have a question. I bought the Lee Hand Press and a RCBS #16 for 9mm. If I only plan on shooting 9mm do I also need this or the #16 all I need?

You should be ok. Lee shell holder is # 19 around 4.00 dollars I keep an extra around just in case.

As long as you only are using the press, yes it is fine. But if you prime with the lee hand primer you will need a different case holder for the hand primer. Something to do with the way they make them. Universal fit for all others. Hope that helps

You need #19 to hold the 9mm shell casing. And hand press good only for primers. Hope this help.

The #16 is all you need for the 9mm, I bought two of them as I have a hand press as well and I didn't want to have to remove it from the hand press and move it to my press when working on 9mm reloading.A good reference for shellholders can be found at: http://www.rcbs.com/downloads/trim_shell_holder_collet_ref_chart.pdf. Happy reloading!

I thought this was a waste of good money. I just received my rcbs # 235832 primer pocket swagger combo 2 for $34.99. I am waiting for my 308 brass or I could tell you more. This goes right in the press and looks like the answer I have been looking for. Hope this helps.

The very first thing you should get is a book. The current Hornady book and another like they Lyman 49th would be good to start with. After a few hours of reading you will have a good idea what its all about and all the stuff you will need to go with the press.

I do the same as Jummy. I believe mine came with two from kempf gun shop, if you are doing rifle they have an amazing kit with everything you will need. You also get a free set of dies. As for pistol, look into the lee pro disk adjustable charge bar, very accurate with most powders and no messing around with trying to find out what disk you need.

You will need the dies for you caliber and you will need a shell trimmer. I would get some extra she'll holders so you don't have to switch from primer to press.

If you give what specific press you have I can better answer your question. The following link is to the Lee Precision site. If you don't find your answer there, call Lee Precision... I have found them very knowledgeable and helpful when ever contacting them.http://leeprecision.com/safety-primer-feed-small-and-large.html

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.

No, First guy is right, you need #32 holder (RCBS). Don't reload steel casings, they will ruin your dies.

You need .223 trimmer. You can get the lee one, it's a little rod that goes through the brass case that is measure to trim it universally to the right demensions. It's cheap and works well for casual reloading. Without a doubt a .223 case gauge and calipers. The case gauge is used to quickly check a resized case to see if it head space is good and whether the case needs to be trimmed. You can just take a quick look at a case in the gauge and then if it look like it's too long then trim it. It really speeds up the process. I don't know about hand washing cases. I would spend 40 bucks get a Frankfort tumbler and use some crush walnut shells and tumble your brass in there, so easy. Toss them in there let the tumbler run for some hours and they are clean. Lastly you need to lube your cases before you resize. Don't waste your time with the lube you need to run onto each case. Get hornady one shot spray lube. It comes in a aerosol can. What you do it place all your cases you are going to load in your one sitting (or however you prefer to reload) stand them each up on their base so the case mouth is pointing up. Spray the lube on an angle in each direction quickly and also into the sizing die. You will be all set. A lot quicker and less dirty. Trust me get that lube. As for dies. Get the lee .223 pacesetter die set. And you will also need a rifle charging die. It universal rifle charging die. And I believe the lee turret press come with an auto disk riser. But you need a riser for the charging die because the powder hoper will hit the primer feed. Get CCI small rifle primers and I use CFE-223 powder. And 55grain bullet fmj. I just reload for plinking so I don't care about accuracy. But everyone is different.

I know this is an old question but I have to put in my 2 cents. On a 4 station turret press, especially one that indexes, you might have to remove all other dies including the powder dump to make room for the spinning handle. The handle on the trimmer is fairly large and clearance to rotate it will be needed. I have an older RCBS Auto 4X4 progressive, and even if I removed all other dies and the powder dump, I would still not have enough clearance unless I also removed the center indexing bar, which is a real pain and not very good for the nylon bushing. If you do have enough room, just purchase the Lee 223 trimmer die, which fits perfectly for the trimmer. I know this is an old question but I have to put in my 2 cents.

You'll need a full-length die, a bullet seating die (these should come in a set with shell holders but if not, a shell holder), case lube and lube pad (Hornady case lube and RCBS lube pad work really well), a case neck brush, a priming system (Lee dies have a priming tool that installs into the shaft of the press, but they also make a hand priming tool), primer pocket cleaner, a case length gauge/trimming system (Lee makes good cheap ones), a digital caliper to measure overall length, bullets, powder, powder scale (funnel too), small rifle primers, and of course brass. I would recommend getting a tumbler too. I have a nano one that only cost around $30. If you get this kit, it comes with a powder scale and funnel and both priming systems I was talking about. It also comes with a drop tube for spent primers to keep them all together until its time to dump them.

I have the Lee hand primer and they also fit my Rockchucker press. Hope this helps.

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.

im in the process of converting from 9mm to .223 and what i have found is that for only a little more money i can buy a while new press because you need the dies -33$, shell plate -27$ , case feeder -25$, bubble disk power drop 15$, rifle charge die -12$, extra tool head -20$, so the math says $132 and for about $100 more you can buy another press all set up and since i can tell you that the load master is a very finicky press i would much rather just spend the extra money and set it up and not have to do a complete caliber change over

These dies use the industry-standard 7/8-14 thread pitch, that will work with all reloading presses using standard dies. That includes all Lee, RCBS, Dillon and Hornady presses. Don't have to buy any special press at all. My personal favourite for a single-stage is the old RCBS Rock Chucker. Classic design, available all over the place, and works just fine.Rock Chucker:RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme PressReloader 5:RCBS Reloader 5 Press Special

As long as you have the dies for that size. The Lee Loadmasters is a decent press, just need a little finesse during setup. Mine work flawlessly, 6 months and 7000 rds so far.
