Previously posted, see belowdaboone wrote:So I wonder why all those "dimples" in you shell holder?
As stated, the dimples were an attempt to "rough up" the stud as per RD's idea earlier in this topic.GasGuzzler wrote:I peened a couple (9) divots in the stud where it holds the brass and knocked the edges of the holder down (again)
The shell holders’ threads are fine but there is erosion on the underside of them. As far as sending pics to Lee…daboone wrote: On the other hand the the shell holders appear to be stripped. I'd send these picture to Lee and see what they have to say.

I don’t have a problem with the case spinning in the 3-jaw because it never tightens the second time.horseman wrote:Just a guess on my part but I believe the problem people have with the three jaw chuck is they don't tighten it down correctly. I know I made the same mistake when I first tried one on a Lee Zip trim. When you install the chuck on the "spinner" portion then place the case in the chuck, twist the big knurled knob to tighten the jaws on the case you need to continue tighten the large knob down onto the "spinner" (just as you would with the shell holder that you use with the trimmer set up) or whichever unit you're using it on ie; the zip trim for instance, until it's tight. The case will not spin if you do this. To remove the case you obviously do the opposite. The spinner stud I use for my power drill for neck turning has an O ring where it screws into the three jaw chuck so it does take a bit of effort. It works just fine, not as good as the K&N maybe but about a third the cost.GasGuzzler wrote:except the 3-jaw and haunting me with its false merits.
