I have read numerous complaints about repeated breaking of Lee shell holders for the .43 Spanish.
If you have that problem look for one of the 1" diameter shell holders made by RCBS. The RCBS shell holders are .150 deep instead of .125. If the Lee dies are set up for a .125 deep shell holder the size die will have to be trimmed. The larger diameter provides more support for the sides of the shell holder under cut.

I have a Lee for my 43 but I use RCBS, just seems to fit better. The first Lee 43 SH I bought years ago was for use in converting 348 cases to 43 and wouldn't fit OEM spec 43 cases.
