Hornaday vrs Lee, will the shell holdres interchange?

(1/1)

mrsee1:
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

Dan W:
Not familiar with your issues but I did fiind a shell holder cross reference that may be helpful

justsomeguy:
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.

shooter:
close to topic, but RCBS and LYMAN will interchange, different numbers. but they will work

unfy:
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.
