  • The .338 ARC uses a 6.5 Grendel / 6mm ARC shell holder (commonly an RCBS #32 or Hornady #6) due to its shared case head diameter, according to user reports and reloading references. It is designed for AR-15 platforms using a 6.5 Grendel-type bolt face.

  • For the .338 ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge), the shell holder matches the same case head as the 6.5 Grendel / 7.62×39 family.
    ✔️ Correct shell holder:
    RCBS: #32
    Hornady: #6
    Lee: #12
    This is because the .338 ARC shares the same bolt face / rim dimensions as those cartridges (same family as 6mm ARC and 6.5 Grendel)
