SWHlctx Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have been using a little Lee single stage press to decap 9mm. I'm starting on 45ACP and need to change the shell holder to a #2, but can't figure out how to get the shell holder that's in there out. I bought it used and the shell holder was already in it. I downloaded the instructions from the Lee website, but they were no help Is there a trick to getting the shell holder out so i can change sizes?

copecowboy22 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Mine just snaps in and out. It's held by a spring clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenr Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 yep on my breech lock by Lee mine just snaps in and out some times to easily. It could be rusted or glued in, you my have to tap it gently on the opposite side of the opening notch of the ram to get it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I thought they just slid out the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWHlctx Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Got it thanks to glenr. It was glued in with some sort of epoxy looking gunk. I took it apart and tapped on the back lightly and then a little more unlightly and it moved. Could see the glue or whatever it was then. Whacked it again and it popped off. Thanks.

Graham Smith Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Check to see if the spring clip is worn or missing. That could be why the prior owner glued it in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
