Area 419 Zero Modular Shell Holder System For Traditional Press
$225.00
The Area 419 Zero Modular Shell Holder System for Traditional Press gives handloaders the precision control that standard shellholders can't deliver. Most reloaders know that shellholder-to-die contact produces the most consistent sizing and headspace results, but dialing in shoulder bump becomes nearly impossible—until now. Area 419's modular system solves that problem by letting you maintain solid die contact while adjusting shoulder bump in .002\" increments using precision-ground stainless steel inserts, giving you the repeatability serious reloaders demand without the guesswork.
This isn't a one-size-fits-all tool. The kit ships with three interchangeable shellholder tops engineered for common cartridge families: .223 (small rifle, .384\" bolt face), .308 (large rifle, .470\" bolt face), and Standard Magnum (.540\" bolt face), so whether you're loading varmint rounds, hunting ammo, or magnum cartridges, you've got the right shellholder geometry in the box. Add in the six precision headspace inserts—ranging from +.002\" to -.008"—and you can dial in your exact shoulder bump setting and lock it down, round after round.
The base mounts to your traditional reloading press with the same mounting footprint you already know, and everything stores neatly in the included aluminum storage bloc. If you've been frustrating yourself trying to hold shell height perfectly still while adjusting die position, or if you're tired of guessing your shoulder bump, this system puts control back in your hands.
