Who uses PMA neck turning tools, question

[Lefty Trigger]

I just received my setup for turning 22BR brass and I have an issue right out of the box. I bought their brass holder that fits in a electric drill/screwdriver and ordered the holder for BR/308/284 but my brass will not fit in it? Its made just like a shell holder with a "2" stamped on it. Is number 2 right or is it machined wrong??

I discovered a serious clue, my Grendel brass fits it perfectly so I bet this is stamped wrong and it's for PPC.

I just chuck the cases directly into my drill. Works good for me.

Lefty,
I have two of Pats turners but not his case holder. I doubt he stamped it wrong his number system is probably a little different than rcbs

Based on the fact that my Grendel brass fits and it's stamped "2" I bet they just shipped the wrong one. The number on the invoice is PCH-1308, will call them tomorrow and get it corrected.

My holder for BR/308/284 is stamped "3" and is also PCH-1308 on the invoice. I'm sure Pat will take care of the mistake.

Did you run warm/hot loads in the brass? In the past, I had trouble using some 5.56 NATO once fired brass in my Lee trimmer, which contains a case driver about the same as what you have. The loads in those cases were a bit stiff and there were some ejector marks on the brass. I even had some difficulties in putting it into shellholders when I was using a conventional press (now I use a Forster Co-Ax). Do you have any unfired brass to try in it, or was this brass unfired?

The correct PMA holder for your needs is #3.

No, all new brass. Only has been sized down to 22.
