Redding Competition Shell Holders

[257Roberts]

Been reading and watching info on Redding Competition Shell-holders, in regards to shoulder bump for hunting and competition shooting.
I have been using them since they first come out and the information I have seen is confusing.

Would like to know how many use the press cam-over when setting up your FLR die using the Competition shell-holders.
I don't and I believe it is wrong to do so.

Same response as in other chat but wanted to post it here too ..

I like using cam over, I believe it keeps my stroke more consistent, I usually load 300 rounds at a time, I know if my arm gets sore as long as I feel the pop over centre it’s even pressure every time.

I cam over, no problems. My press has more flex issues than any cam over issues.

I use cam-over with my Competition Shell holders. But I can see where there might be confusion on the die set up as there are two versions of the instructions.

Thanks 257Wby.
Exactly what my shell holders are and measure.
Have known this for years.
There are some reloaders on youtube that don't have a clue on what these tools are really doing.
I could not find my instructions but that being said I prefer the dead stop on the die.
Thanks again for the diagrams.

OP,
mic any & ALL Redding shell holders since they vary several thousandths per the same numbering.

for the most consistent shell holders look no further than RCBS.

If a press' ram is not trammed in precisely-cam over for consistency.

If the ram is trammed in correctly-set up dies per your application.
