There are multiple different case head sizes for the various cartridges. This requires that you have the correct reloading shell holder or case holder as it is sometimes called for each of the calibers that you reload ammunition for, to ensure that you can hold the cases in the reloading press to use them. Here is our comprehensive reference chart showing which cartridges use which shell holders from the various manufacturers like Lee, Lyman, RCBS and Hornady. We decided to include multiple brands of shell holder, so that if your store doesn’t for example sell Hornady shell holders or the one you are looking for is sold out and you need one quick, you can cross reference it and buy one from another brand like Lee. This helps you more than just a brand specific chart like the Hornady Shell Holder Chart.
What sets us apart from the other shell holder reference charts on the internet, we did not just scrape data from the other charts available like they did, which is why they have so many blank spaces for newer cartridges. We actually cross referenced with each cartridge that a manufacturer did not have but another did. So as usual, we went the extra mile and put in the work, so you have this cool, easy and free resource to make your reloading so much simpler.
Please be sure to check back regularly if you cannot find the one you are looking for as we update the list regularly.
