Zetter Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hi All After getting my press ect for christmas I got around to getting some dies to kick off reloading my .17 Hornet. So I got a Lee Pacesetter die kit for the hornet and all looks ok except the shellholder supplied with the kit doesnt seem to be the correct one it doesnt hold the hornet cases and has a number 2 stamped into it where looking on the Lee site the correct one should be an R20. Is this just the case of the wrong holder being put in the kit at the factory or do you normally have to buy a separate case holder which seems a bit odd? The dies are correct as they are stamped .17 Hornet but the holder isnt even close. Got the kit from Henry Kranks this week through the post.

phaedra1106 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Lee's #R2 shell holder is for 308, 260 etc. you def. want the #R20 which should have been in the kit. Give Kranks a ring and they'll sort it out for you Edited February 13, 2017 by phaedra1106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 No, you're right. 20 it is , with 7 as an alternative but the 20 is the preferred one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Cheers Both its not just me then. I was sitting there thinking this doesnt fit and wondering why its in the kit must have been a factory bad day or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
