RCBS Shell Holder #23 Single Stage .32 H&R Mag .327 Federal

The RCBS Shell Holder #23 delivers precise case positioning and reliable extraction for .32 H&R Magnum, .32 S&W Long, and .327 Federal Magnum cartridges. This hardened steel shell holder maintains consistent headspace control during resizing operations on single stage presses.

What Makes This Different

Unlike universal shell holders that compromise fit across multiple cartridge families, the #23 features exact dimensional tolerances specific to .32 caliber rimmed cartridges. The precision-machined interior walls provide 0.002-inch clearance around case heads, eliminating wobble during the resizing stroke. Heat-treated construction resists deformation under the 2,000+ pounds of force generated during case forming operations.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction withstands repeated high-pressure cycling
• Precision bore dimensions for .32 H&R Magnum, .32 S&W Long, and .327 Federal cases
• Standard 7/8-14 threading fits all RCBS single stage and turret presses
• Chamfered entry reduces case insertion effort and prevents rim damage
• Numbered identification prevents mix-ups in multi-caliber reloading setups
• Knurled exterior provides secure grip during installation and removal
• Compatible with Rock Chucker, Partner, and Reloader Special series presses

Reloaders working with .327 Federal Magnum appreciate the secure case grip that prevents slippage during heavy crimping operations. The shell holder maintains proper case alignment through full-length resizing cycles, reducing runout to under 0.003 inches on properly adjusted dies. Competition shooters rely on this consistent case presentation for uniform bullet seating depth across match ammunition lots.
