Thanks,Ken.

The extended shell holders in RCBS brand FOR the specific cartridge head will work after being turned down just like the REDDING extended shell holders will.
Seems everyone uses a different part number though!
A 22 Hornet shell holder has a different part number for each of the two brands even thought both hold a hornet case : (
Just need to order the extended shell holders for Hornet and .223 Rem size cases.
I hope my mistake didn't mess you up on the order!

Is there any reason you cant use a 204 die to do a vartarg with the properly turned down holder?

According to Don-T in the other thread, Lee accepted his check for a 20 Vartarg collet die set.

Alan in GA,
No, I didn't order the wrong holders. Thanks.
Does anyone know what the smallest collet die is that Lee make thats not a custom one?
I will try and contact Lee to see if they will make a 19FB collet die. I do have a 19/223 full length die which is obviously too long, but i suppose it can be shortened. I would still prefare a collet type though. Regards,Ken.

What cricket? Do you shoot crickets? Are you down under? If so, when it's tomorrow here it's the day after tomorrow there, right?

I've faxed an enquiry to Lee and will PM you when I receive a reply.
Best regards,Ken.
