Reloading .50 Action Express ammunition demands precision from the ground up, and that starts with a shell holder that keeps your case perfectly aligned through every stage of the press. The RCBS Shell Holder #33 is purpose-built for 50 AE brass, engineered in hardened steel to handle the demands of single-stage and turret press reloading without flex or wobble. Whether you're handloading for a Desert Eagle or building match-quality rounds, this holder captures the case head with the consistency that separates good ammo from ammunition you can trust downrange.
Proper case alignment isn't just about convenience—it's about safety and consistency. The #33 holder grips 0.125 inches of the case head, positioning your 50 AE brass at the precise height that matches SAAMI specifications. That means your dies work the case uniformly every single time, reducing sizing variation and ensuring your reloads shoot the way you intended. In a large-format cartridge like the .50 AE, that kind of repeatability matters.
RCBS shell holders are a straightforward, durable consumable in any reloader's kit. The hardened steel construction stands up to repeated use without deformation, and the #33 is designed to work with all standard single-stage and turret press mounting systems. If you're setting up a 50 AE loading bench or replacing a worn holder, this is the kind of foundational tool that does one job right and doesn't ask for attention.

Yes. The RCBS #33 is designed for use with single-stage presses and is also compatible with turret presses that accept standard RCBS shell holder mounting.
No. Shell holders are sized for specific case head dimensions. The #33 is made for .50 Action Express brass only. Using it for other cartridges will result in improper case alignment and unsafe reloading.
The shell holder grips your case head and positions it at the correct height within your reloading die. This ensures your brass is centered and at proper headspace as it's sized, primed, charged, and seated—critical for safe, consistent ammunition.
