Different sizes (diameter) of RCBS shellholders

[ahlosojoe]

I came up with an RCBS shellholder that is bigger than a standard shellholder. Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of the larger shellholder? Check out pic. Thanks for your help. I hope all you OK Shooters have a Great New Year. Joe

My eye says those are for two different calibers, the one on left is Rcbs while the one on right looks more like lee and the Lee on right appears to have a flat bottom for use in a hand priming tool.

Cowcatcher both of these shellholders are RCBS . They are the same length. They will both work to hold brass in your press. The only difference is the diameter of the holders. Thanks for looking. I should have made this plainer.

Are the bottoms where they snap into the press ram the same size?

Gunbuffer, the bottoms are the same size. The height is the same. The only thing different is the top...one considerably larger around than a standard holder. Thanks.

Not all case rims are equal. Some are bigger. Someone up there said it was a 45-70

I ‘think’ I have some of those larger diameter shell holders. Never really thought about it as long as the numbers jived. I get the curiosity though, why bigger the diameter?
