    What RCBS shellholder # for 40 S&W

    Does anybody know what RCBS shell holder # fits 40 S&W. Some charts are saying #22 others are saying #27 yet some charts don't even list a 27and some still don't list 40 S&W .

    Shell holder 27 for RCBS.A google search will find a shell holder chart from Graf's that lists shell holders by caliber and make.

    Be aware that every company has it's own numbers for their own shell holders.
    Somewhere around here is a sticky of a shell holder chart showing each makers number for the calipers they fit. I know I made a copy of it once.

    The RCBS die box says "Use shell holder #27".



    That's what I've always used.
