The RCBS 99239 Single Stage Shell Holder #39 is a hardened steel component engineered for reloaders working with .38 Colt Super Auto ammunition. If you're setting up a single-stage or turret press and need reliable case alignment during the reloading process, this shell holder is built to keep your brass positioned correctly relative to your dies—a critical detail that affects consistency and safety across every round you load.
Built from hardened steel, the shell holder captures 0.125 inch of the case head to establish proper SAAMI headspacing. That precision matters when you're developing loads or running production batches; inconsistent case positioning leads to inconsistent pressures and velocities, which undermines accuracy and introduces risk. This holder is sized specifically for .38 Colt Super Auto case dimensions, so it fits your brass and your press without improvisation.
Whether you're a handloader focused on pistol ammunition or you reload multiple calibers and need dedicated holders for each, the RCBS 99239 is a straightforward, no-nonsense accessory that handles the mechanical job it's designed for. Pair it with your single-stage or turret press setup and move on to the next step in your process.
