Got one free when I bought some other Lee product.  My universal shellholders won't fit on ram.  Same shellholders work on my other Lee preseses.  A Lee #2 shellholder won't fit either (hope to  dedicate this press to .45ACP with an old Lee Speed Die).

Are there special or Lee proprietary shell holders I need to use?

I do have a couple of Lee shell holders that don't fit my rockchucker, but I haven't had the time to figure out the problems, but all of my Lyman and RCBS shell holders do fit the press.

I would take a file to the shell holder and make it fit, if this is suppose to be a dedicated press.
