This morning I was planning on priming some of the 6.5x50mm Arisaka brass (supplied by Graf and Sons) when I ran into a bit of a problem.
The lip of the case doesn't fit into the #10 shell holder that came with the Lee die set. For giggles I pulled out the #10 shell holder that came with my Lee handheld primer and the case fit without issue. If only I could use that holder on my press but that's an obvious no go.
Obviously I can prime the shells with the handheld primer but when it comes time to seat the bullet I am a bit screwed. Has anyone else had this issue with the Lee shell holder for this round or should I go out and buy a slightly larger shell holder to accommodate the lip? Which size would you go with?
