The Hornady Lock-N-Load Shell Holder #26 provides secure case positioning for multiple cartridge types during the reloading process. This steel shell holder maintains consistent alignment with Hornady Lock-N-Load presses, ensuring reliable powder charging and bullet seating operations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard shell holders that require threading, the Lock-N-Load system uses a quick-change bushing mechanism that allows instant swapping between different calibers. The hardened steel construction resists deformation under high pressures, while the precision-machined interior dimensions accommodate case head variations without excessive play. This design reduces setup time between caliber changes from minutes to seconds.

During high-volume reloading sessions, the Lock-N-Load system maintains consistent case positioning across hundreds of rounds. The steel construction handles the forces generated by full-length resizing operations without flexing or wearing. Competition shooters benefit from the quick caliber changes when preparing loads for multiple divisions, while hunters can efficiently process different cartridges for various game applications.
