6.5X55 brass

I have a swedish mauser that I am loading for. Factory Winchester and Federal brass fits bin the same shellholder as 3006. military swede brass wont quite fit. My press is a Herters and uses a different type of shellholder than is commom today. Am I screwed or are shellholders available for my ld dinosaur press?

I found that the same shell holder for a 30-30 works for Swede military brass for my Swede Mausers. Should be a lot easier to find a 30-30 shell holder for that old press than a Swede.

There are several "shell holder adapters" available for the Herters presses that will let you use standard shell holders in your Herters press. Check with Midway or Huntingtons, should be less than $20.00.

thanks I'll check them out. Does antone sell shellholders for these presses or do I have to check the gun shows?
