Description
If you run a 6.5 Grendel and care about consistent brass, the L.E. Wilson New Case Holder is one of those small tools that quietly makes a big difference. It pairs with the L.E. Wilson case trimmer and is designed to hold your new or full-length resized brass securely while you trim, ream, or deburr. The design supports the full body of the case, much like the chamber of a rifle, so the brass sits true and you get repeatable results every time you cycle through a batch.
How the 6.5 Grendel New Case Holder Earns Its Keep
Using it is about as simple as reloading tools get. You drop the case into the holder, tap the case head on a firm surface to seat it, then set it in the trimmer. When you're done, a light tap on the case mouth pops the brass right back out. Because the holder references off the body taper rather than the case head, it keeps your trim length uniform across the whole lot, which is exactly what you want when you're chasing tight groups out of a Grendel.
Beyond Trimming With the NCH-65GRN
This holder isn't a one-trick tool. The same setup works for primer pocket reaming, neck reaming, and deburring when paired with the L.E. Wilson Uniform Deburring tool, which is sold separately. It's machined from steel and made in the USA, so it holds up to repeated use season after season.
One thing worth knowing before you order: this is the New Case version, meant for new brass and cases that have been full-length sized. A few rifles with oversized chambers can leave fired brass too fat to seat properly even after sizing, and in those cases folks step up to the Standard (Fired) holder instead. For the vast majority of 6.5 Grendel reloaders running standard dies, the New Case Holder is the right call and a dependable part of a tidy case prep bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the New Case and Fired Case holder for 6.5 Grendel?
The New Case Holder is made for new brass and cases that have been full-length resized. The Fired (Standard) version is meant for once-fired brass that hasn't been resized down. If you run standard full-length dies, the New Case Holder is the one you want. Rifles with oversized chambers occasionally need the Fired version if brass stays too fat after sizing.
Does the 6.5 Grendel New Case Holder work with my trimmer?
It's designed specifically for the L.E. Wilson case trimmer. You seat the case in the holder, tap the head to lock it in, then place the whole thing in the trimmer. It won't fit other brands of trimmers that don't use the Wilson case holder system.
Can I use this case holder for anything besides trimming?
Yes. The same holder works for primer pocket reaming, neck reaming, and deburring. For those jobs you'll want the L.E. Wilson Uniform Deburring tool, which is sold separately and not included here.
How does the case get held in place?
The holder references off the body taper of the case rather than the case head, supporting the brass much like a rifle chamber would. That design keeps your trim length consistent across a whole batch. To remove a case when you're finished, just give the case mouth a light tap.
