The RCBS 99240 Shell Holder #40 provides secure case positioning for .475 Linebaugh and .480 Ruger cartridges during single-stage reloading operations. This precision-machined component ensures consistent case alignment and reliable extraction throughout the reloading cycle.

What Makes This Different

RCBS shell holders feature hardened steel construction with precise internal dimensions that match SAAMI specifications for each cartridge type. The #40 designation specifically accommodates the larger rim diameter and case head dimensions of magnum revolver cartridges like the .475 Linebaugh and .480 Ruger. Unlike universal shell holders that compromise fit, this dedicated design eliminates case slippage and maintains proper headspace alignment.
