RCBS 9233 Single Stage Shell Holder #33 .50 AE Desert Eagle

The RCBS 9233 Single Stage Shell Holder #33 delivers precise case positioning for .50 Action Express cartridges during reloading operations. This specialized shell holder eliminates case movement and ensures consistent primer seating depth across multiple reloading cycles.

What Makes This Different

Unlike universal shell holders that rely on friction alone, the #33 features machined dimensions specific to .50 AE case geometry. The hardened steel construction maintains tolerances within 0.001 inches even after thousands of loading cycles. Standard shell holders often allow case wobble that affects concentricity, while this precision-machined holder maintains case alignment throughout the entire reloading stroke.

Key Features

• Machined specifically for .50 Action Express cartridge dimensions
• Hardened steel construction resists wear and deformation
• Compatible with all RCBS single stage and turret presses
• Maintains case concentricity within 0.002 inches
• Spring-loaded ejection system prevents case sticking
• Precision-ground interior surfaces for smooth operation
• Numbered identification prevents mix-ups in multi-caliber setups

Reloaders working with .50 AE cartridges require consistent case positioning to achieve optimal accuracy and safety margins. The #33 shell holder maintains proper headspace relationships during sizing operations and prevents case rim damage during extraction. Competition shooters report improved consistency when switching from generic holders to caliber-specific options like this model.
