Hornaday vrs Lee, will the shell holdres interchange?
« on: January 07, 2014, 07:09:56 PM »
Working on ammo for a HEMBRUG 1917, 6.5x55R.
I have 303Brit cases to convert to 6.5x55R and they must be trimmed a shorter length before reforming to 6.5x55R.
Anyone have information on Lee shell holders interchanging with Hornaday shell holders with other company shell trimmers equipment ?
Thanks in advance for any reply

Hornady uses a larger primer hole. This makes other shellholders incompatable with their trimmer as the piece that locks the case in protrudes through that hole. Ask me how I know.  ;) Hornady shellholders, however, may work in another manufacturer's trimmer.

Hornady is the odd man out for shell holders.

RCBS / Lee / Lyman are interchangeable afaik (physically, their corresponding numbers / id's will be diff).

At least, I think this is how it is.  Kinda groggy this PM.
