The Lee Precision 90202 Shell Holder AP Only #2 delivers precise case positioning for Auto Prime systems and compatible reloading presses. This #2 shell holder accommodates popular cartridges including .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, and .308 Winchester, providing consistent primer seating depth across multiple calibers.
