Shell holders aren't always interchangeable, I needed a RCBS #14 shell holder for a 45/70, I was sent a lyman replacement after Midsouth assured me the lyman shell holder was a direct replacement/substitute for my RCBS press and hand priming tool. Tain't so, the shell holder would not mount/fit in my RCBS 90200 hand priming tool. This is why I usually insists on Genuine RCBS tools. William
