Redding Competition Shell Holder Set - #6 Size

The Redding Competition Shell Holder Set – #6 Size gives you precision control over headspace during the reloading process. This five-piece set lets you fine-tune your chamber fit by choosing the shellholder thickness that matches your specific needs, a technique favored by competitive reloaders and precision shooters who demand consistency round after round. Each holder in the set is incrementally thicker than a standard shellholder, allowing you to dial in the exact seating depth your ammunition requires.

What makes this set stand out is the engineering behind it. The five shellholders are marked as +.002", +.004", +.006", +.008", and +.010" thicker than a standard holder, giving you a range of adjustment options without needing multiple complete press setups. A black oxide finish makes each competition holder visually distinct from your regular shellholders, so you'll grab the right one every time. The set ships in a dedicated six-position storage box with room to keep your standard #6 shellholder right alongside your competition set, keeping your reloading bench organized and your tools within arm's reach.

Whether you're chasing sub-minute-of-angle groups at the range or loading match ammunition for competition, headspace consistency is non-negotiable. Redding's competition shellholder approach lets you adjust without swapping dies or fiddling with press settings, saving time and keeping variables controlled. This is the kind of precision-oriented tooling that serious reloaders rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a competition shell holder set used for?

A competition shellholder set lets you adjust headspace by selecting different holder thicknesses without changing dies or making other press adjustments. This is essential for reloaders who need tight, consistent ammunition for precision shooting and competition.

How does headspace adjustment with shellholders work?

Standard shellholders measure .125" from the bottom of the case head cut to the top of the holder. Each piece in this set is progressively thicker (+.002" through +.010"), so swapping holders changes how deep your cases seat in the die, effectively adjusting headspace. You select the thickness that gives you the fit your rifle requires.

What size cases does the #6 shellholder work with?

The #6 size is designated by Redding for specific cartridges. Consult the Redding Shellholder Chart to confirm your caliber matches the #6 size before purchasing.

What's included in the set?

You receive five competition shellholders in incremental thicknesses, a six-position storage box (with one empty slot for your regular #6 holder), and clear markings on each piece for quick identification.
