Anyone using these from Redding?


I've done the sense of feel thing for a while. Feeler gauges between die and shell holder...sense of feel by itself...
and I can get the bump I need but if these shell holders do what they say it should make that shoulder bump much more efficient.

I ordered a set yesterday and looking forward to trying them out.

Just curious if anyone here has any experience using these?

Thx and have a most glorious day
 
yes , I use them for everything . I have four sets of them . they are great . I have three different 7mm-08's and one set of dies . I just use the appropriate shellholder . I could never get a consistent shoulder bump by gapping the die away from the shellholder . using these shellholders my shoulder bump is very consistent .i write in the lid what shellholder to use .

That's music to my ears. They're supposed to be here today but apparently the storms are causing some delays. We'll see. Fingers are crossed!!
 
I have yet to buy those Redding competition shellholders, I always have bumped them precisely at .0015' - .002". Reloaders have been happy with these shellholders. Thanks for the reminder. These helps when you have multiple rifles of the same caliber.

Yup, I use them. I started out buying one set. Now…I own four sets. I think you will like them and will need to make room for additional sets. 👍
 
I’ve been using them for twenty years. Super easy to setup, start with the .010” and chamber a round until you find the perfect shell holder for just a little crush fit in your chamber. Be sure you’re testing it with the quantity you’ll be doing. 1x, 2x, etc while you’re sizing the brass.

Way better than the issues with the die not making contact with the shell holder which can be incredibly inconsistent.

Makes bumping the shoulder so easy a beginner can’t screw it up!image.jpg
 
I want to try them. It would make die setup painless when loading for multiple rifles in the same caliber.
It simplifies the whole process! During sizing a case can stretch and actually grow in length if you’re not making contact with the shell holder. This eliminates that, and allows each piece of brass to be sized down as close to the same as possible.

You’ll love it! Not only that just write down what shell holder you use for each different case and each gun and you’re good to go!
