The Hornady Shell Holder #46, .460 S&W from Hornady is precision machined from solid steel and heat treated so it holds up to the repeated pressure of full-length sizing and bullet seating without wearing out of true. This is Hornady’s shell holder #46 (part no. 390602), sized specifically for the .460 S&W case head. Reloaders use it to lock the case square to the die in a single-stage or turret press, which is what keeps sized cases concentric and headspace consistent, batch after batch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit a non-Hornady press? Yes, Hornady shell holders use the industry-standard base dimension, so they fit most single-stage and turret presses, not just Hornady’s own.

Why does the case head matter this much? A correctly sized shell holder keeps the case square to the die through every stage of the reload, which is what keeps sizing and seating consistent from round to round.
