Hornady Lock-N-Load Shell Holder #2 Multi-Caliber Steel 390542

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Shell Holder #2 delivers precise case positioning and secure grip for multiple popular rifle calibers. This steel shell holder integrates seamlessly with Hornady's Lock-N-Load reloading system, eliminating the wobble and inconsistent seating that plague standard shell holders.

What Makes This Different

The Lock-N-Load design features precision-machined steel construction with tighter tolerances than conventional shell holders. While standard holders rely on loose fits that allow case movement, this system locks cases in perfect alignment every time. The multi-caliber compatibility covers popular cartridges including .270 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .25-06 Remington without requiring multiple holders.

Key Features

• Size #2 compatibility: .270 Win, .30-06 Springfield, .25-06 Rem, .280 Rem
• Precision-machined steel construction for dimensional consistency
• Lock-N-Load quick-change system for faster caliber swaps
• Eliminates case wobble and misalignment during resizing operations
• Hardened steel construction resists wear from repeated use

Reloaders working with high-volume production benefit from the consistent case positioning that reduces runout and improves concentricity.
