Anyone know where a guy can find out what shell holders and or shell plates are interchangeable with each other. ie: 308 marked shell plate will interchange with 30-06 or 243. Trying to match a bunch of Star shell plates.
Thanks in advance

Swamprat, Have you tried Star's catalog or web site? If they can't help go to any reloading tool maker's site. Run down the shellholder list and you will see which cartridges fit the same shellholder.

I haven't looked recently but the Midwayusa Paper catalog used to have charts for Lyman and RCBS that listed shellholders by # and in table format the calibers that they were used for. FWIW
Have a good one,
Dave
I found the RCBS site and that helped alot.
Thanks
