Every solid reloading session starts with the case sitting exactly where it should, and that's the whole job of the RCBS Shell Holder #5. This is the hardened steel holder sized for the .348 Winchester case head family, snapping into the ram of your single stage or turret press so the case rides up into the die perfectly centered. It captures 0.125 inch of the case head, which is what gives you the correct SAAMI headspacing when you resize and seat. RCBS machines these to tight tolerances, and the silver finish over hardened steel means it'll take years of use without wearing out or flexing on you.
The #5 is keyed to a specific rim and base dimension, so it covers more than just the .348 Win. RCBS groups several cartridges under this holder because they share that same case head geometry. If you're loading the .348 Winchester for an old Model 71, or working with cartridges in the same family that spec out to the #5, this is the one you want. It's always smart to double check your cartridge against the RCBS shell holder chart before you order, since the number, not the caliber name, is what tells you the right fit.
There's not much to a shell holder on paper, but the difference between a good one and a sloppy one shows up fast at the bench. The RCBS #5 holds the case square with zero wobble, which keeps your sizing and seating consistent round after round. Reloaders who've run RCBS gear for years tend to stick with it for exactly this reason: it just works and keeps working. It drops straight into any standard RCBS press and plays nice with other common presses that use the same snap-in holder design.
If you've already got RCBS dies for your .348, this is the piece that completes the setup and gets you loading.
The #5 is sized for the .348 Winchester case head and other cartridges that share the same rim and base dimension. RCBS groups cartridges by the shell holder number rather than the caliber name, so always confirm your cartridge against the RCBS shell holder chart before ordering. If the chart lists your round under #5, this is the correct holder.
Yes. RCBS uses the standard snap-in shell holder design, so the #5 drops into RCBS single stage and turret presses and works with most other common presses that accept the same style holder. It's a good idea to verify your specific press takes standard snap-in holders if you're unsure.
That's how much of the case head the holder grips as the case rides up into the die. Capturing 0.125 inch is what gives you the correct SAAMI headspacing during sizing and seating. It keeps the case positioned the same way every time for consistent, repeatable results.
It's machined from hardened steel with a silver finish, built to tight tolerances for years of bench use. Hardened steel means it holds the case square without flexing or wearing out over long reloading sessions. RCBS backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.
