Description
If you run a L.E. Wilson case trimmer and load any of the BR family cartridges, this is the holder that locks your brass in place for clean, consistent trimming. Instead of grabbing the case head the way a shell holder does, the Wilson design cradles the case by its body taper so the brass sits exactly like it would inside a rifle chamber. That chamber-style fit is what keeps everything aligned with the cutter, and it's the reason benchrest and precision crowd swear by this system for dead-square case mouths.
What the 6mm BR Family Fired Case Holder Fits
This one covers the whole BR lineup: 20 BR, 22 BR, 6mm BR, 7mm BR, and 30 BR Remington. It's the FIRED holder, which means it's cut for neck-sized cases and fired brass. The internal taper runs slightly larger than a new-case holder, so fired or resized brass seats properly and leaves the mouth exposed for trimming. If you're prepping Lapua 6BR brass or any of its wildcat relatives, this is the holder that belongs in your kit.
Using the Fired Case Holder with Your Wilson Trimmer
The holder does one job and does it well: it centers the case and keeps it from spinning while the cutter does the work. You tap the case into the holder, run it against the trimmer's stop, and let the micrometer-adjusted cutter set your length. A lot of folks hold the case holder by hand for better feel, while others run the optional clamp. Either way, the trim length is controlled by the trimmer's stops, not the holder, so once you dial it in the results repeat shot after shot. It also works for primer pocket reaming, neck reaming, and deburring when paired with the matching Wilson tools.
Machined in the U.S.A. from quality steel, this is a buy-it-once piece that'll outlast most of the rifles it preps brass for. If there's no separate New Case holder listed for your cartridge, this standard fired holder is all you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cartridges does the 6mm BR Family Fired Case Holder fit?
This holder is cut for the BR family, which includes 20 BR, 22 BR, 6mm BR, 7mm BR, and 30 BR Remington. The case diameter and length are what determine the correct holder, and these cartridges all share the same body profile. If you're trimming 6BR Lapua brass or its wildcat spinoffs, this is the right fit.
What's the difference between the fired holder and a new case holder?
The fired holder is cut with a slightly larger internal taper so it fits fired and neck-sized brass, letting the case seat forward and expose the mouth for trimming. A new case holder is sized tighter for fresh, unfired, or full-length resized brass. If no separate new case holder exists for your caliber, this standard fired holder handles everything.
Do I need the L.E. Wilson case trimmer to use this holder?
This holder is designed to work with the L.E. Wilson case trimmer, where it sits atop the trimmer's rods and centers the case against the cutter. It also pairs with Wilson tools for primer pocket reaming, neck reaming, and deburring. Some reloaders adapt these holders to other setups thanks to the tight tolerances, but the best results come with the Wilson trimmer.
How does the holder grip the case without a shell holder?
Rather than clamping the case head like a shell holder, the Wilson design cradles the brass by its body taper, much like a rifle chamber. That chamber-style fit keeps the case perfectly aligned with the cutter so the mouth gets trimmed square. You simply tap the case into the holder and tap it back out against a piece of hardwood when you're done.
