Lyman Shell Holder - #13 Size

The Lyman Shell Holder #13 Size is a precision reloading component engineered for ammunition handloaders working with large rifle and obsolete cartridge calibers. Built from steel with a compact design measuring 2.3 x 1.2 x 4.5 inches, this shell holder delivers the positive case positioning required for accurate, repeatable ammunition assembly across multiple shooting disciplines—from bench rest precision shooting to historical rifle cartridge development.

The #13 sizing accommodates cartridges including 7.62x54 Russian, .416 Rigby, .45-90 Sharps, .45-70 Government, .40-65 Sharps, .45-110 Sharps, .45-100 WCF, and .45-120 Sharps. This versatility is essential for reloaders who work across multiple large-bore rifle platforms. The steel construction ensures durability under the mechanical stresses of repeated press cycles, while the standardized interface works seamlessly with Lyman presses and is compatible with most modern reloading equipment from other major manufacturers. Proper case holding is critical for consistent cartridge concentricity and safe pressures during firing.

This shell holder serves competitive shooters, historical rifle enthusiasts, and dedicated handloaders who demand precision components. Whether you're developing loads for a .45-70 Government lever-action, assembling ammunition for dangerous game hunting, or working with vintage Sharps cartridges, the correct shell holder is foundational to safe, consistent reloading. The Lyman brand's manufacturing standards ensure this component will function reliably across thousands of reload cycles. Verify compatibility with your specific reloading press before ordering to ensure proper fit and operation.
