The RCBS 9221 Shell Holder #21 delivers precise case positioning for 303 Savage cartridges in single stage reloading presses. This hardened steel shell holder maintains consistent alignment during the resizing, priming, and bullet seating operations that define quality handloading.
What Makes This Different
RCBS shell holders feature case-hardened construction that resists wear from repeated cycling through thousands of reloading operations. The #21 designation specifically matches the rim diameter and case head dimensions of 303 Savage cartridges, eliminating the loose fit or binding issues common with generic holders. Internal dimensions hold tolerances within 0.001 inches for reliable case extraction and feeding.
