What # press shell holder for 6.5 PRC

[greg vess]

One place told me a #4 but some saw it to snug and use a #5. Now I have ordered both and the #4 came in today and it isn't even close to be able to fit a 6.5 PRC shell in. I am afraid the #4 is so small the #5 won't be too much bigger. What is the proper shell holder for the 6.5 PRC before I start blindly ordering various press shell holders?

The numbers differ depending on who the manufacturer is.

Lee is reported as #5
RCBS as #4

Just to illustrate the point:

And thank you very much. I looked but couldn't find the right info or it was conflicting.

Bear in mind (although it doesn't matter to many reloaders) the dimensions of different manufacturers' holders differ, so if standards matter for you, standardize on one brand wherever possible
