Description
The Redding #7 Shellholder is one of those small parts that quietly makes the whole reloading process work. It grips the rim of your case and holds it square and steady while the press does its job, whether you're full-length sizing, depriming, or seating a bullet. This one is cut for the 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser family and the 45 Winchester Magnum, so if you're loading either of those, this is the number you want on the ram.
Redding builds these from quality steel and heat treats them, which is a big part of why they hold their shape and keep a consistent grip load after load. The outside gets a knurled finish too, so swapping it in and out of your press is a quick, no-fuss job even with slick fingers or a little case lube in the mix. The tapered slot design helps the rim slide in clean so you're not fighting to seat the case before every pull of the handle.
Where the #7 Shellholder Earns Its Keep
Fit matters more than people realize with a shellholder. A sloppy fit can let the case shift and throw off your sizing, while a tight, correctly machined holder keeps everything aligned for better, more repeatable ammo. Redding machines these to close tolerances specifically so the case sits where it should every single time.
Presses That Play Nice With the Redding #7
This is a standard press-type shellholder, so it works with the universal snap-in groove found on most single stage and turret presses on the market. Redding's own presses, plus the common brands you already have on the bench, will accept it without any trouble. It's a straightforward, dependable piece that does exactly what a good shellholder should and gets out of the way so you can focus on building solid loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cartridges does the Redding #7 shellholder fit?
The #7 is set up for the 6.5×55 Swedish Mauser family and the 45 Winchester Magnum. Both of those share the rim dimensions this holder is machined for. If you're loading a different cartridge, check Redding's shellholder chart to confirm the correct number before ordering.
Will the Redding #7 shellholder work in my press?
Yes, this is a standard press-type shellholder with the universal snap-in design, so it fits most single stage and turret presses out there. Redding presses and the common brands on most benches will accept it without any modification. It slides into the ram's T-slot and snaps into place.
What is this shellholder made of?
Redding machines these from quality steel and heat treats them for durability and a consistent grip. The outside is knurled so you can grab it and change it quickly, even with case lube on your fingers. That build is a big reason they hold tolerances load after load.
Is the Redding #7 a single shellholder or a set?
This is a single standard press-type shellholder, not a set. If you're after the Redding Competition Shellholder option that comes as a five-piece set in .002 inch increments for fine-tuning shoulder bump, that's a separate product.
