The Hornady Shell Holder #16 delivers precise case positioning and reliable extraction for multiple calibers in a single reloading tool. This universal shell holder eliminates the need for multiple size-specific holders while maintaining the tight tolerances required for consistent ammunition production.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard single-caliber shell holders, the #16 accommodates multiple cartridge cases with identical rim dimensions through precision-machined steel construction. The universal design reduces bench clutter and speeds up caliber changes during extended reloading sessions. Heat-treated steel construction provides durability that outlasts aluminum alternatives by thousands of cycles.

Key Features

  • Universal #16 size fits .204 Ruger, .223 Remington, .22-250, .243 Winchester, .308 Winchester, and other popular calibers
  • Precision-machined hardened steel construction for consistent case positioning
  • Compatible with all major reloading press brands including RCBS, Lee, Lyman, and Hornady
  • Corrosion-resistant silver finish prevents rust and wear
  • Standard 7/8-14 thread pitch fits most single-stage and turret presses
  • Chamfered case entry reduces brass damage during insertion
  • Professional-grade tolerances ensure proper primer pocket alignment
Reloaders appreciate the consistent case grip that prevents slippage during primer removal and bullet seating operations. The hardened steel construction maintains dimensional stability even after thousands of loading cycles, making it suitable for high-volume competition shooters and commercial loaders. Weather-resistant finish prevents corrosion in humid storage conditions.
