I have several of the old model Lee Hand Priming tools, and need a chart of shell holders and the calibers to which they pertain. I know that on the back of the holder package there is a chart, but I have no such package, or chart. Anyone out there have something? A scan of the back, e-mailed, or whatever, would be a great help.

Here is a pdf of the instruction sheet you had. http://fsreloading.com/userfiles/file/instruction_sheets/PT1204.pdf

Now they make two different hand primers but it is my understanding they both don't use the universal type shell holders. Though I mostly use Lee equipment my hand primer is a Hornady which uses the universal type holders.

Nope. That is for the NEW style of hand primer - I have the OLD style that uses screw-in shell holders. Lee hasn't made them in decades, but they still work for me - I can watch TV & prime 100-200 cases without hardly thinking about it. Much handier than the new style, IMHO. I have one set up for 45/06 cases, one for 38/357, another for whatever, and a spare, just in case. But I need to have a chart of the (lettered, not numbered) shell holders.

A plus vote here also for the old Lee priming tool with the screw in shell holders. I even have a couple of the red plastic ones.
