RCBS Single Stage Shell Holder #36 Size

The RCBS Single Stage Shell Holder #36 Size is a precision reloading component designed to properly align cartridge cases with reloading dies in single-stage and turret press systems. Built from hardened steel, this shell holder is engineered to capture exactly 0.125 inch of the case head, ensuring consistent SAAMI headspacing and repeatable round specifications across production runs.

Shell holder #36 is sized to accommodate specific cartridge head dimensions, making it essential for matching the correct shell holder to your caliber and press setup. The hardened steel construction resists wear from repeated press cycles and maintains dimensional stability over thousands of reloading operations. Proper case alignment—achieved through the shell holder's precise geometry—directly influences primer pocket concentricity, case neck runout, and overall round quality. This precision component works in conjunction with your reloading press, sizing dies, and other tooling to produce ammunition that functions reliably and shoots consistently.

Ammunition reloaders—whether working with rifle, pistol, or magnum calibers—depend on shell holders to establish the proper case positioning before die work begins. Size #36 serves specific cartridges and must match your caliber and case head dimensions to function correctly. RCBS shell holders are available in numbered sizes to cover the full spectrum of commercial and specialty cartridges, making it critical to verify you have the correct size for your caliber before purchasing.

This is an OEM RCBS reloading component and should be used as part of a complete reloading setup that includes appropriate safety practices and equipment. Shell holders are not interchangeable across sizes—selecting the correct size for your specific caliber is essential for safe and accurate ammunition production.
