Shell holders are generally "universal" as far as fitting reloading presses is concerned.

Beyond presses, it's a crap shoot. No two accessories are alike, just like no two brands of shell holders are alike (no matter what the manufacturers claim).

Some case trimmers won't work with other brands of shell holders.
Some priming tools won't work with other brands of shell holders.
Even some press-mounted tools may encounter compatibility problems with other brands of shell holders.


I own Lyman, Redding, RCBS, Lee, and Hornady shell holders. They all have different amounts of cross-compatibility with other brands of equipment. In some instances, I had to buy a particular brand of shell holder, just to be able to use a particular tool for a certain cartridge.
