Are shellholders interchangeable between brands of dies?
I have lost the Lee number 4 shellholder that came with my .223 dies.
I have Lyman's x26 that came with their .380 die set.
Both Lee and Lyman list .380 and .223 as using the same shellholders.
I know the height of the shellholder is critical in determining the headspace distance on the shoulder of the .223 case, so I wonder?
I see Lee sells a set of shellholders they say is universal, but they do not say across other brands of dies.

Shell holders are like reloading dies, they're going to work in virtually every modern single stage reloading press. Yes you can use brand X shell holders with brand Y dies.
