Shell holder recomendations

[ptf18]

Fellows. I just acquired an older RCBS JR press and Im in need of 4-5 shell holders. I would like to get Brand recommendations as I don't know if the RCBS brand of S/H is of better "quality" than other brands. I would think they would be great but I wanted to ask before a purchase.

Redding is what I have replaced my RCBS ones with after I got started in reloading.

As did I.
They seemed to be a tiny bit of a tighter fit when installing. Also, they are easier to remove with the knurled outside diameter.

I can only speak from experience in the shell holder for a .223.

I like the Lee brand shell holders,,,they have a tapered feed ramp into the deck of the holder,,,it makes it easier to insert the ctg base,,,,(I must be gettin lazy),,,,Roger
PS....I just noticed my stuff looks "used",,,because it is ,,,

A minor point, but the Redding shell holders don't have the recess for a primer that is sticking above the case head to be removed from the shell holder. Probably not an issue unless you prime on your press and don't uniform your primer pockets.

Never a problem with many RCBS shell holders. Maybe 10 different ones but I'm guessing.

Never had a problem with RCBS shellholder in a RCBS unit , to me they remove and install smoother the off brand .
