Lee hand primer shell casings

Can you use the shell casing off a Lee press to put on the Lee hand primer or are they different? If different then where is the place to get a .44 mag casing? Thanks, FullCry

If I remember correctly they are different then the shell holders for the press. Here is a link for a kit for most calibers.

different shell holders

xfire is correct. they are slightly off. which is shame since about the only way tell them apart is to try to insert the wrong one in the hand primer.

I wonder if 44 mag and 40 s&w can be used by one of the numbers in the set?
