The RCBS 99239 Shell Holder #39 delivers precise case positioning for .38 Super cartridges during reloading operations. This single-stage shell holder maintains consistent headspace alignment while providing secure case grip throughout the sizing and seating process.
What Makes This Different
The #39 shell holder features RCBS's precision-machined steel construction with exact dimensional tolerances for .38 Super cases. Unlike universal shell holders that compromise fit, this dedicated holder eliminates case movement during high-pressure sizing operations. The hardened steel construction resists wear from repeated cycling, maintaining dimensional accuracy through thousands of reloading cycles.
Key Features
- Precision-machined for .38 Super cartridge dimensions
