I have an RCBS hand primer that is supposed to work with LR and SR. I cant get the 338LM shell holder to fit into it. Should it? Or do I need another part?
Re: Premier seating for 338LM

Hell, that may be the one I have. I will check. I thought it would work for most anything, short of 50.

Nope!. You should be good to go. Make sure that you have the RCBS #14 shell holder. I use the same system and has no problem with it.

338LM uses the same as the 45-70 shell holder.

The 338LM shellholder I have is a Hornady part. Maybe it is a little bigger OD. I will pick up one from RCBS and see.

Re: Primer seating for 338LM
WHOA! I bought 5 or 6 RCBS shellholders and had no luck with them.
I was advised in the reloading section to use the Redding unit. Works on all .338LM brass.
The RCBS unit did not allow the base of the case to rest on the floor of the shellholder. The case chamfer above the case rim was resting on the chamfer of the shellholder.
Take a look at the reloading section under .338LM loads.
Maybe RCBS corrected this?????

Re: Primer seating for 338LM
If you have the rcbs hand priming tool, you have to use one of their shellholder. I ran into the same problem before. Get rcbs shellholder # 14 and you will be good to go , if you are reloading Lapua brass.

+1 on what Gunner75 says. I am using the Redding .338 LM shellholder I got from Adam Bauer in my RCBS priming tool with Lapua brass and Federal 215 primers. Works great.

Adam is tossing a #35 in the mail for me tomorrow to see if that takes care if it. Adam is a great guy to deal with.
