It's been a very long time since I used J holders but, if I remember correctly, Lyman didn't change the cartridge numbering system when they went to universal holders.

I have found this to be pretty much a dependable first guess estimate. Over the years I believe the dimensions of some of the Lyman shell holders have changed somewhat to accommodate more current cases. I had trouble with finding a J-type shell holder for the .25-20 SS until I remembered how close it was to the .32 S&W rim... problem solved! Is there a particular case you are looking to fit?

Thanks all. I found about 10 in my late brothers stuff. Some I can use as I have two Lyman All American presses and a Spartan Jr??? Anyway I checked the Lyman Manual and they seem to be the same numbers. Thanks again.
