The Hornady Lock-N-Load Shell Holder #2 is a precision-machined steel component built for reloaders who need reliable, repeatable cartridge positioning across multiple calibers. This versatile shell holder fits the Hornady Handheld Priming Tool, Cam-Lock Case Trimmer, and most common reloading presses on the market—making it a practical choice whether you're setting up a dedicated single-press bench or running a flexible multi-purpose station. #2 holders are sized for cartridges like .380 ACP, .221 Remington Fireball, 6mm TCU, .222 Remington Magnum, 7x47mm Helm, .20 Tactical, .204 Ruger, and similar round profiles.
Heat-treated solid steel construction means this holder handles the daily wear of case insertion and ejection without wear or creep. That durability translates to consistent primer seating depth, case trim length, and overall reloading accuracy—small differences matter when you're handloading ammunition for hunting, competition, or precision rifle work.
If you already own Hornady reloading gear, this shell holder plugs directly into your existing setup. If you're mixing brands (Hornady press with a Lee or RCBS die station, for example), the Lock-N-Load design works with most standard presses, so you're not locked into a single ecosystem. Keep a few #2 holders on hand so you can switch calibers without constantly swapping out the holder itself—one of those small investments that saves setup time and reduces the chance of lost or damaged cartridge necks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this shell holder work with my press if it's not a Hornady?
Yes. The Hornady Lock-N-Load Shell Holder #2 is designed to fit most standard reloading presses on the market, not just Hornady equipment. However, if your press uses a proprietary shell holder system, check your press manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm compatibility.
What calibers does the #2 shell holder fit?
The #2 holder is sized for cartridges including .380 ACP, .221 Remington Fireball, 6mm TCU, .222 Remington Magnum, 7x47mm Helm, .20 Tactical, .204 Ruger, and similar rounds with comparable case dimensions.
Can I use this with Hornady's accessory tools?
Yes. The Lock-N-Load Shell Holder #2 is designed to fit Hornady's Handheld Priming Tool and Cam-Lock Case Trimmer, making it compatible with those Hornady accessories.
Do I need a different holder for each caliber I reload?
Yes. Each Hornady shell holder is sized for a specific group of cartridge dimensions. The #2 is for the calibers listed above; other calibers require their appropriate numbered holder. Many reloaders keep multiple holders on hand to speed up caliber changes.
