Redding shell holders with lee press and primer

[Pigdog]

hi as the title suggestions I will be using a redding body die in a lee press for 6.5x47L my question is will redding shell holders fit in the lee press and secondly will that same redding shell holder be able to be used with the lee hand priming tool? I was under the impression that the priming tool will only be able to use lee shell holders which I hope is not true as lee does not make 6.5x47l shell holders?

thanks

You'll be able to use Redding shell holders in a Lee press, but the Lee priming tool has a proprietary shell holder. The 6.5 x 47 has the same head size as the .308 & Lee LR & SR priming punches are built to run thru the one sized hole in the shell holder base.

Don't be fazed because that case isn't listed.

Thanks mate so that clears that up for the press, the next bit I didn't quite get clearly I'm not sure what lee LR & SR priming punches are, are you saying I can get a lee 308 shell holder to use in the hand priming tool for my 6.5x47l ?

Yep. Here's the difference between the two: http://leeprecision.com/shell-holders/

You need the #2.
