I picked up an X16 and a J16 . I am unable to find out what caliber these will fit. I have searched many old lyman books but they do not have any info on these
any one have any info

https://www.lymanproducts.com/contacts/ is all I can suggest, looked around and not seeing anything to match that #.
Just checked the S H cross reference in Lyman Hand book #46 and LCBHB #4, neither one lists a lyman #16
Measurement of the shell holder across the "ID" and "OD" dimensions might let us guess better if the manufacturer cannot help, also.
Sure it's not an RCBS shell holder? 9 Luger- 30 Mauser. Gp
Found this:..For use with Lyman older Presses ( Tru-Line Jr/ All American Turret / & Comet).
Fits: 45 Colt; 45 Schofield; 44-40: 44 Mag; 44 Spl; 8mm Mauser; 6.5x57R Brennke; 8x57 JRS.
This is no longer manufactured! "J" Type Shell Holder
The above nfo got from some one who collects / sells old equipment
FROM LYMAN via email:
" That was used for 8x57 JRS it is essentially a rimmed 8mm Mauser"
I aplogize for the error...
and forwarded my info to the person that collects it..

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.
Thanks For the Correct Info. The #16 does fit The8x57 R base
