A high quality hollow shell in which the occurrence of internal surface flaws caused by the rotary forging effect and/or shear deformation is prevented by suppressing the rotary forging frequency and shear deformation in a transient region at the stage of billet gripping and a worsening of thickness deviations in the top portion of the hollow shell is also prevented is reliably produced with preventing miss-rolling such as incomplete billet gripping and troubles in bottom withdrawal and an increase in the outer diameter of the hollow shell in the bottom portion. A billet is pierced while being rotated and advanced to produce a hollow shell, from which a seamless tube is finally manufactured, using a pair of skew rolls, a pair of disk rolls, and a plug under such conditions that each of the ratio (Dg/d) of the diameter Dg of the gorge portion of the skew rolls and the outer diameter d of the billet, the ratio (Dd/d) of the diameter Dd of the groove bottom of the disk rolls and the outer diameter d of the billet, the ratio (Dd/Dg) of the diameter Dg and the diameter Dd, the inlet face angle theta1 of the skew rolls, and the square root of the product (NsxDf)0.5 of the rotational frequency Ns of the billet in a transient (non-steady state) region when billet gripping and the reduction ratio Df of the outer diameter of the billet satisfies a prescribed equation.
