What is the specific purpose of the Redding #12 Extended Shellholder compared to a standard #12 shellholder?

The Redding #12 Extended Shellholder (MPN: 11512) is specifically machined taller to elevate short cartridge cases above the standard reloading press ram. This extra height is required when using file trim dies to trim cases with an overall length under 1.50 inches, such as .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and PPC variants, allowing the case mouth to extend fully through the top of the die.

Which reloading presses are compatible with the Redding #11512 extended shellholder?

This shellholder features a standard universal snap-in slotted ram interface designed to fit most standard single-stage and turret reloading presses available in Australia. However, it is not compatible with proprietary jaw systems such as the Forster Co-Ax press.

Can I use this extended shellholder for standard reloading operations like full-length sizing or seating?

No, this extended shellholder is strictly built for cases with an overall length under 38.1 mm (1.50 in) when using file trim dies. For cases exceeding 1.50 inches, using this extended version will over-elevate the brass and prevent proper die clearance, so you should use a standard-height Redding #12 Shellholder or Competition Shellholder set instead.

Are there any Australian electrical compliance or safety certifications required for this tool?

No electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certifications are required because this is a 100 percent mechanical, unpowered handloading tool made from heat-treated steel. It is fully legal, unrestricted, and safe to use in any Australian reloading workshop or outback environment.

Extended Shellholder #12 - Redding 11512

The Redding #12 Extended Shellholder (MPN: 11512) is a precision-machined, heat-treated steel reloading accessory engineered to elevate short cartridge cases above a standard press ram.

It features a universal snap-in slotted interface compatible with standard single-stage and turret reloading presses.

Key Features

Who is the Redding #12 Shellholder Extended Ppc, 38/357 for?

Handloaders reloading .38 Special and .357 Magnum ammunition — elevates short handgun cases with an O.A.L. under 1.50 in (38.1 mm) above the press ram so the case mouth reaches through file trim dies for uniform length trimming.
Reloaders building and prepping 6.5 Grendel or PPC rifle cartridges using file trim dies — provides the vertical clearance necessary for short benchrest and intermediate rifle brass measuring under 38.1 mm (1.50 in) O.A.L. to clear standard press tooling during case forming and mouth trimming.

Less suitable for: Cartridge cases exceeding 1.50 in (38.1 mm) O.A.L., which require a standard-height #12 shellholder or competition shellholder set to avoid over-elevating the brass and losing proper die clearance.
