Shell holder question

[Maelstrom]

I am sure this is a stupid question but please humor me. I know enough to be dangerous but not enough to be smart when it comes to reloading. My friend is helping/supervising me but he was not 100% sure about my question. I have a RCBS Rock Chucker Press and just purchased new Redding dies to start loading .308. The Redding dies box says I should use a #1 shell holder. I use an RCBS #3 shell holder when loading my .22-250 using RCBS dies. I was under the impression both case use the same size shell holder. Does it really matter what brand shell holder I use as long the manufacturer says that it is the right size for my cartridge? If I need to buy a Redding shell holder to use with my Redding dies I will but I was thinking I could just keep using my current RCBS shell holder.

I use an RCBS #3 shell holder with my redding dies for .308. You are good to go.

Thanks. I thought I would be ok but just wanted to double check.

There's a cross reference chart out there somewhere, lists cases vs brand of shell holder. RCBS, Redding, Lee, etc..

Shell holder cross reference chart

good to go. Pretty sure that at least some of the loading manuals (Lyman I think, maybe Lee) have the "conversion" chart in the back of the book?
