case holders for neck turning

[TripleS]

I recently acquired one of the Sinclair caseholders and wish I woukld have found them years ago. I have used the Lee caseholders for years and even purchased the universal caseholder (with the 3 jaws) and none of them come close to the Sinclair. The cases stay tight with minimal force tightening the holder, and I didn't have a single case come loose like I got used to with the Lee. Also the long Hex shaft stays in the chuck of a cordless screwdriver.

Ok... it looks like it's easier than Lee, and the center detent? secures in the primer pocket better? I'm looking into utilizing my Forester neck turner in my vice with a power screwdriver or drill.

Have you looked at the K&M.??? That shiny piece of aluminum is worth it's weight in gold. Once you lock the case down. It's not going any where. That big blue ring saves your hands, especially if you are dealing with the old Arthritis. Just another choice to look at, I gave my 21Century to my son to use, just because the K&M was easier on my hands when locking down and unlocking the case.
Edited:> You have to us the Lee Precision Auto prime shell holders with it.

These work well for me. Very sturdy and easy to use.

guess a quick snap in wouldn't secure the case enough. Lee is too small and cumbersome. The one I listed looks nice. I saw Horandy neck trimming tool. Looks like a great tool.

I have a couple 21 century holders and they work great!...

Definitely looks larger than the die lock ring I use on mine.......gonna have to make one of these, thanks for the pic.

Any case holder like the Sinclair unit below works well because they center the case on the primer pocket.
Meaning far less chance of case wobble when turning.

Below the nipple centers the case in the holder reducing any wobble.

Hey, I'm Glad it helped. It is bigger and fatter than my Forster die locking rings. It is 1.7440" tall, and 0.5600" thick. it's also held in place by a set screw.

The older sinclairs used a rounded ball end that went into the primer pocket. I think i may still have one if i didnt throw it away. It didnt work at all which is why you dont see many recommendations for them. Glad they finally changed

Both the 21st Century, and the PMA Tool have a closely fitting post that fits into the primer pocket. This is a significant improvement because you don't have to tighten them as much to keep cases in place under the force of turning necks. I have used the others and these are the best. Also, cases run truer with the positive index on primer pockets.

I'm not into cartridge specifics, the universal one looks better, but you have to buy thier shell holder.

Universal = WOBBLE (unless you tighten each case with vice grips) BTDT

 

[milboltnut]

LHSmith, thanks I'll take your word for it.

I have a few from Sinclair and a few from PMA that came with a used turning tool that I bought. Both of them work well, much better than the Lee tool that I had. K&M makes good stuff and that case holder looks like it would work great.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

The k&m uses the shellholders you probably already have. One tool fits all and theres no post to mangle up primer pockets

 

[ronemus]

Does anybody know if the K&M Power Grip ring works with Sinclair case holders? I currently use pieces of rubber hose to get a better grip, but the Power Grip looks like a better solution.

"mangle up primer pockets"? I have both the 21st and the PMA and nothing even close to that has ever happened. They are both excellent. The cases run very true. I have turned a lot of cases with the K&M driver and it is not in their class.

I use the Sinclair model and never experienced any kind of problem at all with mine.
