My Model 70 .325 WSM finally got here (Thanks freezer filler!)
The package included brass, dies & bullets.

I had been checking around for a #43 RCBS shell holder, but in vain. I started to check the shell holders that I have here already and find that the brass will fit into Lee #5 & RCBS #4 shell holders.

Question: What's the difference between RCBS #4 & #43? I need an RCBS shell holder to be able to use my RCBS primer tool (Lee don't fit).
Am I going to have issues using my #4 holder or should I keep searching for a #43? Wifey & I are doing a road trip on Wednesday, so I should be able to find a #43, but do I really have to?
 
If your particular cases fit into a #4 use it. I have had cases that fit in either a #4 or #43 while others are fussy and will only fit into a #43.

If you need a #43 I can check when I get home as I think I have a spare in my cabinet.
 
If you have one Gary, that would be great!

I'll let you know when the road trip's over. I like to keep 2 of each shell holder. 1 goes in the box with the dies, one goes into the box with the primer tool.

I have all WW cases ( 3 bags of non-plated, 20 pieces of nickel plated)

I tried 3 or 4 pieces in the #4. A couple of them needed to be rotated a bit before they'd slide in, but the others went right in.

I wasn't sure if the shell holder for the WSM's has different shape, or something.

I just checked and I do have a couple and can let you have one.

When are you heading out on your road trip?

We're heading out at "zero-dark-stupid" on Wednesday. Probably go through McLeese Lake before 05:00.

I'll call on the way back on Thursday. Still got the same phone #?
