That's an intriguing thought, but I'm using the same shellholder I use with my .30-06 dies. It's the Redding Competition +.010, and incidentally I used most of the rest of the set with the .30-06, trying to size cases from my old Mark X small enough to work in my NULA. (Can't be done, it turns out.) Anyway, all of those worked fine.
