What you will also find is that there were various length shell holders available in at least some of these sizes. IIRC that was something that was done to accommodate presses that do not have the long travel that most contemporary presses have enjoyed for some time now.
I copied and printed this and have it taped inside the lid of my organizer.
I can't remember off the top of my head if #8-10 exist or not. I'll try and look tonight to see if I have any that are so marked. I'm pretty sure I have one for a 45 ACP and another for belted magnums at home.
The #3 is not that easy to find, I gave one I had to a guy who has a rifle in R2 Lovell and another that has a .170 Landis Woodsman. No big deal though, Dayton Machine Shop should be able to make one up if a guy needs one.
The picture is from the pages of my Handloaders Digest 1962 1st Edition John T. Amber. I find the 1962 1st Edition & Handloaders Digest 1972 6th Edition 1972 to be great resources.
