What cartridge cases are compatible with the Redding #02 Competition Shellholder Set?

The #02 set is designed primarily for rimmed rifle cartridge cases based on or sharing the .30-30 Winchester rim profile. This includes popular calibres like .30-30 Winchester, 7-30 Waters, .25-35 Winchester, .30 Herrett, .308 Marlin Express, and 7.5x55mm Swiss, as well as related wildcat variants.

How do these shellholders allow for precise shoulder bump control without adjusting the sizing die?

The 5-piece set features extended deck heights above the industry standard 0.125-inch in discrete increments of +.002, +.004, +.006, +.008, and +.010 inches. By swapping shellholders while keeping your full-length sizing die locked firmly against the top of the shellholder, you can precisely control headspace without trial-and-error die adjustments.

Will these shellholders fit standard reloading presses used in Australia?

Yes, the Redding #02 Competition Shellholder Set features standard snap-in base dimensions that fit all standard single-stage and turret reloading presses sold in Australia, including brands like Redding, RCBS, Lyman, Hornady, and Lee.

What lubricants or accessories pair well with this set for reloading rifle brass?

To ensure smooth case sizing and prevent stuck cases on the bench, pair this shellholder set with a quality lubricant such as Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax Case Lube. For maintaining optimal neck tension and precision when reloading rifle ammunition, precision neck sizing bushings like the Redding Precise Neck Sizing Bushing are also excellent workshop additions.

Competition Shellholder Set - Redding 11602

The Redding #02 Competition Shellholder Set (MPN: 11602) is a precision metallic reloading tool engineered to control case headspace and shoulder bump during full-length sizing. Machined from heat-treated steel with a black oxide finish, this 5-piece set allows handloaders to maintain firm die-to-shellholder contact on the press ram, eliminating press linkage deflection and runout caused by backing off sizing dies. The set is specifically designed for cases sharing the .30-30 Winchester rim profile, including .30-30 Win (.30 WCF), 7-30 Waters, .25-35 Winchester, .219 Zipper, .22/30-30 Win, 6mm/30-30, .30 Herrett, .308 Marlin Express, and 7.5x55mm Swiss.

Key Features

Stepped Headspace Adjustments: Includes five distinct shellholders with deck heights offset in exact +0.002″ increments over the industry-standard 0.125″ dimension.
Rigid Sizing Geometry: Keeps full-length sizing dies squared against the press ram, reducing brass runout and ensuring consistent cartridge concentricity.
Extended Brass Life: Accurately matches sized brass to individual rifle chambers, preventing over-sizing and premature case thinning near the web.
Universal Press Compatibility: Fits standard snap-in single-stage and turret reloading press rams without requiring modifications or powered equipment.
Clear Identification: Features distinct laser-etched and stamped offset markings on each shellholder, packaged in a dedicated storage box.

Who is the Redding #02 Competition Shellholder Set for?

Reloaders loading .30-30 Winchester and rimmed wildcat cartridges — requires precise shoulder bump control across cases sharing the .30-30 rim design using a 5-piece stepped shellholder set tailored to those exact case rim profiles.
Precision rifle shooters managing chamber headspace and reducing case runout — needs exact +.002″, +.004″, +.006″, +.008″, or +.010″ deck height offsets over the standard 0.125″ deck height to achieve uniform shoulder set-back while keeping the sizing die square to the ram.

Less suitable for: Handloaders who need headspace offsets exceeding the +0.010″ threshold or standard 0.000″ bump (where a standard 0.125″ shellholder or adjustable die setup is required), or those reloading rimless cartridges such as the .308 Winchester or .223 Remington families, which require a different cartridge-specific Redding Competition Shellholder Set.
