Hornady Shellholder #40 Product description

  1. Precision Machining: Each Hornady Shellholder #40 is meticulously machined to exacting specifications, ensuring a perfect fit for its intended case rim diameter. This precision prevents case slippage and promotes consistent, accurate reloading operations, crucial for achieving sub-MOA groups.

  4. Secure Case Retention: Engineered with a spring-tempered retention system, the shellholder firmly grips the case rim, preventing movement during demanding press operations. This secure hold is vital for both safety and the production of uniform, high-quality ammunition.
