Hornady Shell Holder #56

The Hornady Shell Holder #56 (Hornady part no. 390611) is precision machined from solid steel and heat treated to hold a range of cartridges securely during reloading, including .380 ACP, .221 Remington Fireball, 6mm TCU, .222 Remington Magnum, 7x47mm Helm, .20 Tactical, and .204 Ruger, among others. It fits Hornady’s own case prep tools, like the Handheld Priming Tool and Cam-Lock Case Trimmer, and also works with most other reloading presses on the market. A wide mouth and rounded opening make case insertion smoother, and because one shell holder covers multiple calibers with the same rim dimensions, reloaders often keep just a handful of numbered holders on hand to cover their whole case lineup.
