    Not really sure what you are asking...

      I just keep my shell holders with my die sets. Now that I'm on a Dillon progressive I don't need shell holders anymore. Sorry I couldn't directly answer your question.

        Thanks -
        Not really a problem .
        I don't keep the shell holder with dies - They are mounted in the Lee turrets .
        When using the loadmaster , it has shell plates .
        The hand and singles stage do use shell holders - it was a pain looking for the right one for the 30 carbine - unscrewing the dies and then looking for shell holder .
        I bought the flat lee boxes for the ones that that came in the round cases .
        Still it would be easier to just grab a shell holder out of box , but the ones I have and found on net only hold 12 at most . I do 15 calibers so I will probably end up with one of multi purpose plastic boxes.

          Not a case but inline makes a wall/bench mounted plate that holds 10 shellholders or collets. You could always email them to see if they'll custom make a longer one.

          These lil shellholdrs seem to run off now and then. This rack keeps them nice and organized and right where you left...

              Make one out of wood. Just drill it out for the size hole you need.

                Op check out the organizers that I bought from harbor freight. You may be able to do something with it. Check out my pics on the thread.

                  Thanks , I got a flat plastic box that I keep my case trimming stuff from lee in .
                  I reload 15 calibers so space is limited .
                  ditchdigger - those are cheaper on Ebay - but again it only holds 12 .

                      Dude make yer own.

                      Get a 2x4, cut down to about 8 inches or so and make a double set of rows, drilled out for the bottom diameter of the holders. Paint it to match your press and pop it on your bench.

                      It might not be as slick as the Lee shell holder case, but it would work.

                      Or, consider taking a small keychain type of cable and stringing them up through it like I do with my PC swatches.


                      Hmm, is there a shotgun case that holds 10GA shells that you can try?

                      I can see one of these MAYBE with a piece of foam below the top that the shell holder rests on.

                      Go crazy and saw off the bottom half and replace with a piece of plastic...

                        Yes, I have one of the plastic boxes I keep the Lee trim to length stuff in .
                        Was hoping for one made for shell holders .
                        Lee only make 21 shell holders and with 2 types - that brings to 42 .
                        I will probably use a spare plastic box and just label it . When I buy stuff , I generally get 2 - so I have a spare .
                        I will probably just pick up another 2 if no one comes up with one .
                        I am not adverse to making things - I ended up drill out 1 inch holes in
                        some old Zip tape boxes and putting my Lee shell plates in them

                          ok..... I have to ask, even though you reload 15 calibers, don't some of those calibers double up on shell holders? Like #19 for 9mm and 40s&w, #2 for 308, 30-06, and I think 45 acp?

                            Yes they do. But there are a few calibers out there that have their own shell holder.

                              Oh yea , Quite a few double / triple up . The 44 and 50 AE , most 38 are the same but there are 2 for 38 . I have a few that are different - 25 ACP , 32 ACP = 30 carbine are a few . 270 - I don't remember which one off hand .
                              There are shell plates that I mostly use , so more farmilar with them . But using the single stage , hand press or Lee trimming tool , you need the correct one .
