You have a shell holder for the older Lee Auto-Prime more than likely.
Not only that, many mfrs. use a different numbering system, so cross-referencing is required. Some have shellholders for specific calibers, others may make one that covers several calibers. Just use one brand, if that makes it easier for you.

OK just was wondering the one number 2 i have in a package doesn't have the circle and i guess mine needs the circle. I have one number two that works so no worries was just wondering what difference was.

That's what it sounds like, though I think the "new" Lee Auto Prime XR uses the same shell holders.
BTW, I love my old auto primes. I can sit in front of the TV with a box of brass and prime away.

Always a problem...
...start loading more calibers (even ones you don't shoot), so you'll have something around to reload!
