The Hornady Shell Holder #42 - .405 Winchester is a precision reloading component designed for shooters and reloaders who work with classic and specialty rifle cartridges. This shell holder serves as an essential accessory for anyone utilizing Hornady's progressive or single-stage reloading presses, enabling safe, consistent cartridge positioning during the reloading cycle. Whether you're a competitive shooter, precision rifle enthusiast, or ammunition conservationist, a dedicated shell holder specific to your caliber ensures repeatable results and reduces risk of press-related cartridge damage.
Manufactured by Hornady using precision machining and heat-treated solid steel, the Shell Holder #42 is engineered to securely grip .405 Winchester cartridges with minimal play during the full reloading stroke. The hardened steel construction resists wear from repeated press cycling and handles the mechanical forces encountered during sizing, priming, powder charging, and bullet seating operations. Its compact dimensions (1.85 x 0.8 x 3.2 inches) and lightweight profile (0.05 lbs) allow for easy installation and removal on compatible Hornady press models without requiring tools or modifications. The precise bore geometry is matched exactly to .405 Winchester specifications, preventing cartridge slipping that could result in improper primer seating or case misalignment.
This shell holder is compatible with all Hornady reloading presses that accept standard shell holder assemblies, including single-stage, progressive, and bench-mounted systems. Shooters working with vintage or specialty rifle cartridges—particularly those reloading for lever-action rifles and historical firearms chambered in .405 Winchester—will find this component indispensable for maintaining ammunition consistency and press integrity. For maximum reloading efficiency and safety, always verify press compatibility before purchase and ensure the shell holder is fully seated on your press station before beginning any reloading operation.
