Lee Auto Prime
I bought the handheld Lee Auto Prime and the shell holders (454 and 460)don't fit. Is there a different shell holder for this? I was trying to use the ones that I got with the dies....454 is #11 and 460 is #14.

Lee Auto Primes use a different shell holder than your dies. Makes it a pain but I still use and like my Lee hand primer. It has done thousands of primers I have even wore out the plastic where the ram rubs just below the shell holder on the small primer one and fixed it with a small piece of aluminum from a soda can, so the ram rubs against the metal instead of the plastic.

You can buy a Lee kit that comes with I think 11 different shell holders for the auto prime. If I'm not mistaken the kit will work with just about every caliber available and it's under $20.
