Will these shell holders work in the rcbs press?

No, they just fit in hand priming tools, they are basically half the normal she'll holder

Lee makes two kinds of shell holders one for the primer placer, these are special and work only with the hand primer.The other shell holders will work in any standard press, they are for the most part universal.

Shell holders are universal to all presses. They are made to be specific to each caliber AND the base fits in any press. You can get a whole set to accommodate almost any need for $26.98 here: http://www.titanreloading.com/priming-tools-and-shell-holders/universal-press-shell-holders/lee-universal-shellholder-set.

Yes, but they must have the hex shaped lock rings, the old round aluminum lock rings are too wide. I just bout hex shaped RCBS lock rings (nuts) and replaced the old round rings.

As long as they are the same (industry standard) thread size. Most dies are. I know Hornady, Redding, Lyman, and RCBS dies all work in this press.

There are no shell plates - the brass is held in a shell holder. Shell holders are caliber specific, so NONE come with the press. The correct shell holder is included with Lee Die sets; other die manufacturers may or may not include the shell holder in which case you purchase it separately. (The press comes with one TURRET which will accept any standard dies.)

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.

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.

According to RCBS's website the #7 shell holder fits the 303 British and 30-40 krag

Not sure it fits my RCBS Rock Chucker/ Hearters/C&H.; Most likely fits 99% of the presses out there.

Just do a Google search for RCBS shell holder chart and click on the first link. Just about every site that sells shell holders do not say which caliber they are for.

The RCBS 22115 set is for .40 S&W/10MM Auto. it requires the #27 Shell Holder.

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.

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.

Hey Mr. Doe,The shell holders are for different calibers. This case holds 11 shell holders for the Lee press kit. However, you can reload about 100 different calibers from this kit. Good luck. I have one myself and love it.

I don't have RCBS press, however I see no reason they shouldn't work fine in a conventional press. All my other dies are RCBS and Pacific brands. and this lee set works well. In fact there are a couple of innovations which I quite like.

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.

You will need a shell holder to match the specific case or size you are reloading. There are basically 2 types of shell holders, one for presses that has a nipple on the bottom that snaps it in place, the other type is flat on the bottom and is used in hand priming tools like the Lee Hand Priming tool. If you are reloading several different size calibers then buying set of shell holders with many sizes may be the way to go, but the shell holders with a flat bottom will not work on a single stage press, and vice versa for the ones with a nipple on the bottom when trying to use a hand primer.
