Digger0040Help with my new Lee Turret Press Please (rifle reloading)
I just received my Lee Turret Press and the directions seem kind of vague to me. I know I am missing the shell holder that goes in the press (.223) I have the RGB die kit and I am expecting the Collet die kit in the mail next week sometime. Does the shell holder just slide into place and snap in so its not loose? Also is there a hole in the holder so when I raise the ram to the die it will push out the primer and it will fall to the ground? I am brand new to using a press I have had bunches of help from mickburger I just thought I would ask this one in open forum. As always any help is greatly appreciated.

cv1973yes the shell holder just slids in,their should be a clear plastic tube that will go under the shell holder to catch the primers,

Jim C. <><It will all become clear when you get your shell holder. But, just as with your RGB die set, no shell holder comes with the collet die. You would have gotten a Lee shell holder with either a Delux or Pacesetter die set.

Winchester 69Any brand of shell holder will work, if you can find one locally.
