RCBS hand prime

After 20 years and thousands of rounds, my original Lee hand prime broke. Got a new one a year ago or so, and it's sh1t! Thinking of replacing it with a RCBS hand prime, but the question is for anyone that's got one... Can my existing shell holders, either Lee autoprime or Lee universal, be used on the RCBS hand prime or is it a case that I'll have to buy a wagon load of tool specific shell holders as well?
Thanks.

The newer RCBS hand primer has a self adjusting holder if I’m not mistaken. No need for separate shellholders

Have to agree with you regarding Lee hand primer they improved the original round one and made it worse !

RCBS have a hand primer called the "RCBS Universal Hand Priming Tool" (see
http://rcbs.com/Products/Priming/Tools/ ... -Tool.aspx). This eliminates the need for shell holders at all and I've found it very good (though I have limited experience with alternatives). You do have to mess about with it a bit to convert between large primer seating and small primer seating though.
My usual online retailers (McAvoy Guns, Dauntsey Guns and Sportsman Gun Centre) all stock it.
