Hornady Shell Holder #53, .404 Jeffery

The Hornady Shell Holder #53 is sized specifically for .404 Jeffery brass (part no. 390608), and it keeps the case square and centered through every stroke of the press whether you’re sizing, priming, or seating a bullet. Hornady precision machines each shell holder from solid steel and heat treats it afterward, so it holds its grip and its dimensions through years of bench use. The shank is cut to an industry-standard fit, meaning this holder isn’t locked to Hornady presses alone. Reloaders running .404 Jeffery brass on any single-stage or turret press will find this the correct holder to keep cases seated true.
