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.
