The Lee Precision 90525 Universal Shell Holder #8R provides secure case positioning for classic cartridges including 32 Winchester, 348 Winchester, 40/65, and 45/70 Government. This precision-machined shell holder ensures consistent cartridge alignment during the reloading process.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard shell holders that accommodate only one cartridge family, the Universal #8R handles multiple large-bore rifle cartridges with identical rim dimensions. The hardened steel construction resists deformation under high pressures generated by heavy-duty cartridges. Lee's proprietary machining process creates smooth interior surfaces that prevent case scratching while maintaining positive grip.
