The Hornady Universal Shell Holder #30 (MPN: 390570) is a single-stage reloading press accessory engineered to grip and align cartridge cases during metallic reloading steps, including depriming, resizing, expanding, and bullet seating. CNC precision-machined from solid steel and heat-treated for wear resistance, it provides precise concentric alignment on standard single-stage and turret press rams. It holds a single case at a time and features a universal snap-in base that installs directly into standard rams without requiring disassembly or set screws.

Key Features

  • Solid Steel Construction: CNC precision-machined from heat-treated steel to maintain dimensional tolerances under repetitive press leverage.
  • Universal Snap-In Interface: Compatible with standard single-stage press rams from Hornady, RCBS, Lyman, Lee Precision, and Redding.
  • Smooth Case Insertion: Features a wide mouth opening and radiused entry edges to eliminate case snagging during manual insertion and extraction.
  • Precise Rim Engagement: Cut to exact Size #30 dimensions to grip case rims securely and maintain die alignment.

Who is the Hornady Precision Shell Holder #30 for?

  • .44 Calibre Handloaders — requires precise rim engagement for .44 Special and .44 Remington Magnum cartridge cases to ensure proper alignment in single-stage reloading press dies during sizing and bullet seating.
  • Vintage Military Rifle Shooters — matches the specific rim dimensions of the 7.5×55mm Swiss cartridge, allowing handloaders to securely run 7.5mm brass through standard full-length resizing dies using this shell holder.
  • Magnum Wildcat Handloaders — accommodates specialised rim configurations on wildcat and magnum rounds, including the .357/44 Bain & Davis and 6.5×68mm Magnum, on a single-stage press.

Less suitable for: High-volume progressive press reloading; users requiring continuous cycling across multiple die stations at once require a dedicated multi-station progressive shell plate rather than a single-position snap-in shell holder.
