The RCBS Shell Holder #39 (RCBS part no. 99239) is a precision steel shell holder built to grip a case at the press ram during resizing, decapping, and priming. RCBS keys every shell holder number to a specific case-head diameter and rim profile, so the same numbered holder works across every cartridge sharing that head dimension. This holder is sized for the .38 Super Auto case head. It mounts to any standard single-stage, turret, or progressive press built around the widely used shell holder interface, making it a simple add when you pick up a new caliber. Machined from hardened steel, it stands up to the repeated clamping force of high-volume reloading sessions.

Key Specifications

• The holder is marked #39, RCBS’s standard size designation for its matching case-head group.
• It is sized to seat and secure .38 Super Auto brass squarely against the ram.
• It is machined from hardened steel so it resists wear from repeated ram cycling.
• The holder uses the industry-standard shell holder mount, so it also fits most non-RCBS single-stage and turret presses.
• It holds the case square to the ram for consistent resizing, decapping, and priming strokes.
