Borrow someones RCBS Auto-prime. The one that uses the APS strips has a universal shellholder that works on just about anything short of 50BMG. It's what I use on 7.5 French (and about everything else). Also if you know anyone with a Bonanza press it to has a universal shellholder and you could use it's priming attachment........DJ | ||

Mike the rim diameter and thickness and compare it to specs of other cartridges in the manuals. You should be able to find a close match to order a shellholder for. Pay attention to the extractor groove but you may have to settle for one with insufficient rim clearance and need to grind the top of the shellholder. | |||

The RCBS #2 shellholder should work (Lee states their #3, but you found out differently). As for the CCI #34 primer, that is a thick-cupped NATO primer, and may be too much for your brass (check your brass to make sure that any remaining primer crimp has been removed). Try a regular old large rifle primer. | |||

I am trying to prime some new French 7.5 brass using CCI 34 primers and my Lee auto prime. The Lee instruction sheet doesn't list a shell holder for this cartridge. I tried the no.3 shell holder which is listed for fitting the 7.5 Schmidt. The primer wii not seat; it feels like it is not centering the primer in the brass. I tried the remaining 10 holders in the shell holder kit with no luck. Any ideas? | |||
