The RCBS 99235 Single Stage Shell Holder #35 is a precision component built for reloaders working with classic rifle cartridges—specifically the 38-40 Winchester, 44-40 Winchester, and 45 Schofield. If you're running a single-stage or turret press and need consistent, accurate case alignment, this hardened steel shell holder does the heavy lifting so you don't have to. It's the kind of unglamorous but essential part that separates good ammo from ammunition that just barely made it through your loading sequence.
Shell holders are often overlooked until you don't have the right one. This #35 captures precisely 0.125 inch of the case head, engaging the headspace dimension that SAAMI specs demand. That shallow engagement means your cases sit in the die exactly where they need to be, every single time—no slop, no creep, no guessing. Whether you're loading for a vintage 44-40 cowboy gun, a historical 38-40 rifle, or 45 Schofield cartridges for a black powder revolver, proper case support keeps your dimensions tight and your reloading consistent.
RCBS has been making shell holders long enough to know what works. The hardened steel construction handles the repeated impact and pressure of the reloading cycle without wear or deformation. Pair it with your RCBS dies and press, and you've got a platform for reliable, repeatable handloads.
