Shell holder for old redding press

[pete evans]

Hi guys
I’ve got an old redding press and the only shell holder is a size 1. Ok for my 243 308 etc but I need one for my 222. Can’t find anything on Google search. Any pointers would be appreciated

Pretty sure that they are now obsolete so you will be lucky to find one.
One option would be to contact Redding to see if they still make the adaptors that allow standard shell holders to be used, they certainly used to, but that is a few years ago.
I guess someone who knows their way round a Lathe could possibly fabricate something, perhaps by replicating the thread on some bar stock and weld an adapted standard shell holder to it??
