The Redding #8 shellholder is one of those small parts that quietly makes a big difference on the bench. It cradles the rim of your case and holds it square to the die through sizing, decapping, and seating, which is exactly what you want when you're chasing consistent ammo. The #8 covers a useful spread of cartridges, including 30-40 Krag, 303 British, 35 Winchester, and a handful of other rimmed and specialty rounds that share the same rim dimensions.
Redding machines these to tight tolerances so the case sits with minimal slop, and that snug fit carries through to how your finished rounds measure out. The tapered opening is a nice touch when you're running a long session, letting cases drop into place without hunting for the slot. The outside knurling gives you a solid grip when you're swapping holders mid-project, even with hands that aren't perfectly clean.
These are made from heat-treated steel, which is part of why Redding gear has the reputation it does. The hardening keeps the slot from wearing out of spec over thousands of cycles, so the holder you buy today stays true for a long time. Reloaders who have compared it to budget holders tend to note the step up in fit and finish.
The universal design drops into most popular single-stage and turret presses, so you aren't locked into one brand of equipment. If you already run RCBS, Lyman, Hornady, or a Redding press, this will seat in the ram just fine. Keep in mind this is a standard press-type shellholder sized by rim, not a competition set, so one #8 covers all the cartridges that share its rim group.
The #8 is sized for rimmed and specialty cases that share its rim dimensions, including 30-40 Krag, 303 British, and 35 Winchester, along with several others in that rim group. Shellholders are grouped by rim size rather than caliber, so one #8 covers any cartridge with a matching rim. If you're unsure, check your cartridge against a Redding shellholder chart before ordering.
Yes, it uses a universal design that fits most popular single-stage and turret presses. Whether you run a Redding, RCBS, Lyman, or Hornady press, the holder seats in the ram slot the same way. It's a standard press-type shellholder, so it drops right in.
This is a standard press-type shellholder, not part of a Redding Competition set. Competition sets come as five holders in .002-inch height increments for fine-tuning headspace, while this single #8 is your everyday holder for sizing and seating. If you just need a reliable holder for the cartridges it covers, this is the one.
Redding machines these to close tolerances and heat-treats the steel, which keeps the slot from wearing out of spec over time. The tapered mouth makes dropping cases in quicker, and the knurled exterior gives you a better grip when changing holders. Reloaders who compare it to budget options often point to the tighter fit and finish.
