RCBS Single Stage Shell Holder, Hardened Shell Holder for Reloading on Single Stage and Turret Presses

Works perfectly. Had a Lee shell holder that came with the Lee die set for .223 and it was bad. Not machined out fully and the shells didnt go all the way in. Then I purchased one from CH4D along with there swage removal die and it worked but was to tight inserting and pulling out the shell and would leave a gouge in the case. Tossed them both and bought the RCBS. Highly recommended!

Good price I bought 2

Have used RCBS for more than 40 years.. they even machined me a set of dies for my own caliber and I design back in the late 60s.. yes a .22-243 and it will still shoot a dime size group at 200 yards with a Heavy Hart barrel glass bedded in a Rem. XBR stock and Rem. action also a 20X Redfield scope. Swift and 22.250 cannot hold a light to speed, accuracy, and flat trajectory of a .70 gr bullet coefficient! RCBS A GREAT TOOL COMPANY and I have used almost every one on the market even Lee when they first started out and made a great field loader kit with dippers! Second thoughts if I was not so much a Shakie Jake I could still give a dime sized group at 300 yards. My best shot was 9 telephone poles down a straight dirt road about .9 of a mile I killed a coyote and that is not any smoke or bull, just once in a lifetime in the right place at the right time and read the mirage correctly! I still remember after all those years, how it looked like a swimming pool that warm day!

Fits great and is as described

Exactly as described on website, and it was exactly what my husband wanted.

Another quality RCBS shell holder. However, it doesnt fit 10.4X38R (41 Swiss) Swiss Vetterli Centerfire Cases made from Lebel brass. I suppose it fits the .348 Winchester brass perfectly, except I dont have any of that brass to compare. The Lebel brass has a slightly larger base and wont fit the #5 shell holder. I had purchased this shell holder on the presumption that it did after what I thought was thorough research on many forums. However, once I receive it, I found it didnt fit the Lebal brass. I later found the LEE #17 fit my Lebel brass perfectly and I ordered three from another vendor on Amazon. In summary, some hand-loaders use re-formed .348 Winchester brass for the Swiss Vetterli, and this shell holder should work fine for that. Others use Lebel brass and this shell holder will -not- work for that brass; go get a LEE #17 instead. I now have an RCBS #5 I dont really need, but small price to pay for the education. :)

I use it on a Lee press and it is a little bit snugger inside than the Lee shellholder #4 that it matches. In my case, when using it for 380 that is a good thing because the #4 Lee isnt quite tight enough when used for the 380, a caliber listed for this shellholder. It saves a few 223 and 204 cases as well because it grips the rim a little better which comes into play when a case is somewhat stuck in a die but can be gently extracted if the rim holds up. Your chances are better with this die.

Excellent product

Works GREAT with Fiocchi .380 acp cases with Hornady LNL Classic Press. Nice and snug. The #16 Hornady Shell holder woud not work on Fiocchi due to the narrow area above the rim. It also works fine on what I call the Normal 380 acp case (i.e. Blazer,Hornady, Winchester, etc).

Holds the cases just fine.
