Description

A premium, heat-treated steel shell holder designed for the .30-06 Springfield and .308 Winchester parent case families. It features a universal snap-in design, a knurled exterior for easy handling, and a precise .125″ deck height for consistent headspace.

The Redding #1 shell holder is engineered for cartridges with a .473″ rim diameter. While it is often used for the same calibers as the #2 holder, the #1 is the primary designation for the “standard” bolt-face family. Redding’s manufacturing process ensures that the internal slot is perfectly parallel to the base, which eliminates case tilt—a major cause of bullet runout and inconsistent neck tension.

The black oxide finish provides long-term protection against corrosion, and the knurled rim makes it easy to swap out even when your hands are slick with case lube. Because Redding holds their tolerances to +/- .0005″, this holder is the gold standard for shooters who rely on exact “shoulder bumps” for match-grade accuracy.
