Hornady 390543 Universal Shell Holder #3 Silver Multi-Caliber Steel

The Hornady Universal Shell Holder #3 is a precision-machined steel component built for reloaders who work with multiple calibers. If you're loading .380 ACP, .204 Ruger, .221 Remington Fireball, .222 Remington Magnum, 6mm TCU, 7x47mm Helm, .20 Tactical, or similar rounds, this shell holder locks your cases securely in place during the reloading cycle. The #3 size covers a wide range of standard and specialty cartridges, making it a smart buy for serious handloaders who don't want to stock a dozen different holders.

Built from solid steel and heat-treated for durability, this shell holder is made to withstand repeated use at the press without flex or wear. It's designed to work seamlessly with Hornady's own reloading accessories—the Handheld Priming Tool and Cam-Lock Case Trimmer mate up perfectly—but it's also compatible with most major press brands on the market, giving you flexibility if you're running a mixed setup or planning to upgrade later.

Whether you're setting up your first reloading bench or expanding a multi-caliber operation, a quality shell holder is non-negotiable. This one removes guesswork and keeps your cases positioned exactly where they need to be, shot after shot.
