RCBS Shell Holder #46 - Precision Reloading Component 99246

The RCBS Shell Holder #46 delivers reliable case extraction and positioning for specific cartridge types during the reloading process. This precision-machined component ensures consistent shell placement in RCBS single-stage and progressive presses, eliminating the guesswork from cartridge handling during sizing and bullet seating operations.

What Makes This Different

RCBS shell holders feature hardened steel construction with precise internal dimensions that match specific cartridge rim specifications. Unlike universal shell holders that compromise fit across multiple cartridges, the #46 provides exact dimensional tolerances for its designated cartridge family. The machined surfaces resist wear from repeated cycling, maintaining consistent grip pressure throughout thousands of reloading cycles.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction resists deformation under high press forces
• Precision-machined internal dimensions ensure proper cartridge rim engagement
• Compatible with all RCBS single-stage and progressive reloading presses
• Numbered identification system prevents mix-ups during multi-caliber sessions
• Beveled entry guides cartridge cases into position smoothly
• Heat-treated surface maintains dimensional stability over time
• Standard RCBS threading fits Rock Chucker, Partner, and Pro 2000 presses

Reloaders working with the cartridges specified for Shell Holder #46 experience consistent case extraction without rim damage or extraction failures. The precise fit eliminates case slippage during sizing operations, particularly important when working with difficult-to-resize cases or maximum loads. Competition shooters rely on this consistency for uniform ammunition production, while hunters appreciate the reliability during field reloading scenarios.
