Which brand of Shell holders do you like?

[laveritt]

RCBS are fine. I also like Redding.

Over the years I have used several brands but I have had fewer issues with fit with RCBS.

When push comes to shove I'll choose RCBS, but use Lee also without any problems.

when ole joe said the feller was dating himself for using pacific shellholder it reminded me i still use a pacific press and a peck of pacific and ch ram type shellholders --

Well, for my Dillon press, I use a Dillon shellplate, of course.

My dies are just about all Lee, so my shell holders are also Lee. I have had a couple of cartridges over the years where I was able to rip the rim through the shell holder trying to get it unstuck. I don't know if a more well fitting shell holder would have prevented that. On the other hand, I have encountered brass that was enough of a tight fit in the Lee shell holder that I just threw it away. Maybe they have to make the sloppy due to some variances in cartridge dimensions from what is supposedly the SAAMI standard?

I have all RCBS and Lyman shell holders, The only thing different is the Dillon shell plates.

I like Hornady because the deprimming hole appears to be a tad larger than other brands. I have all the other current production brands.

take care

You are dating yourself if you use Pacific. I forgot about them when I responded to this thread. I have several, they work well, at least as well as Hornady.

Have a blessed evening,

Yes you're right about dating , it's just I got the Pacific shell holder with the Pacific Durachrome Dies When I bought the Pacific Super Deluxe Press, this was 1970 ? Oh My, that is dated, funny thing is I'm still using all of that blue Pacific stuff.......Pacific was the original "Blue Press " !

I mostly use my Co-ax which does not use shell holders, when I have to use my RC I use the Redding set of 5 shellholders for each cal., which allows you to adjust your case shoulder regardless of the dies you are using.
