Shell Holders and Calibers

Our Turret Press, Reloader Press, Hand Press and Challenger Press all use Universal Shell Holders to hold the case on the ram.  The appropriate holder comes with all
Lee Dies (except RGB). 

All major brands of shell holders can be used on Lee presses

The Lee Auto Prime uses unique shell holders made specifically for it.  The numbers on them correspond with those on the Universal Shell holders that are made for use in presses.  However, they differ in the sense that the Auto Prime shell holders do not have a bottom lug that is present on the Universal holders. 

For those that prefer, we offer a set of 11 shellholders for both the Presses and the
Auto Prime which fit over 115 different calibers.  Part #90197 is the set which includes a green plastic box for the presses and part #90198 is the set for the Auto Prime which comes in a red plastic box. 

In both sets, shell holoders included are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 19, 7 ,8, 9, 10 & 11
Numbers 6,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 & 20 are not included but fit very few calibers.  They are available individually.  See the list below to reference the cases in which the holders fit.  In the case where two are listed, the first is considered the better fit.
