Could someone measure the center hole in a shell plate?

I am at work so I can't measure one of mine. I need to know the diameter of the hole in the center of a shell plate.

Thanks in advance.
 
Im not sure exactly but a 6 mm 103 gr will just fit in that little hole.
Ask me how I know.

If you are referring to a standard shellholder the holes are not the same.
Measuring with a Vernier:
Lyman 0.250+
RCBS: 0.263
Redding is about: 0.280
 
I have a press mounted to a piece of 2x10 for clamping down at the range. I managed to go to the range once with everything I needed except a shell holder.

I am going to run a bolt up through the 2x10 and store 3 or 4 shell holders on it. Wherever that press goes, shell holders will be with it.

The precise measurement of the hole is not an issue for me as long as my bolt is smaller.
