Shellholder retainer clip....LEE classic cast ?

Got my LEE classic cast (single stage-no breechlock) in today, got it mounted & started sizing some brass. Does anyone know if the shell holder insert is supposed to have a retainer pin ? I did some research & looks like most presses come with some sort of clip to keep the shell holder on the ram.
I just held it in place & had no problems bumping my shoulders back .001 with the body die & competition shellholders. Advice I found on this forum made the initial setup WAY easier....thanks all.

Concentricity may well be improved if the case is given freedom enough to try to center itself whilst entering the die by allowing the case to drag the shellholder to where it may. Try an o-ring as a forgiving retainer.
 
I'm planning on getting some #17 O -rings shortly. I figured a shellholder would still have play in it with a retaining clip to secure it...just curious if this press is supposed to come with one ? I sent LEE an e-mail.
