The Hornady Lock-N-Load Shellholder Kit Multi-Caliber Steel Set brings professional-grade versatility to your reloading bench. This five-piece steel set packages the five most commonly used shellholder sizes—#1, #2, #5, #16, and #35—giving you the ability to work with over 75 different cartridges without swapping between multiple purchases. Whether you're loading .223 Rem for the range, .308 Win for hunting, 7mm Rem Mag for long-range work, or classic calibers like .30-30 Win, this kit covers the essentials most serious reloaders actually need.
Built from steel for durability and precision, Hornady's Lock-N-Load shellholders work with compatible Hornady presses and press systems. Each size is engineered to hold cases securely during the resizing and depriming process—critical when you're processing rifle or handgun ammunition for consistency and safety. The multi-caliber approach means you're not buying single-use components; instead, you get one toolbox that handles rifle magnums, standard rifle rounds, small pistol and rifle cartridges, and Winchester Short Magnum variants all in one set.
If you reload for multiple calibers, this kit eliminates the need to source shellholders individually or buy incomplete sets. It's the kind of practical, money-smart choice that experienced loaders make when they want to expand their capability without overcomplicating their workflow. Steel construction means these will outlast your press.
