Lyman Shell Holder - #9 Size

The Lyman Shell Holder #9 Size is a precision reloading accessory engineered for shooters working with large-capacity rifle cartridges. Built from hardened steel, this shell holder is designed to securely grip and position cartridge cases during the reloading cycle, ensuring consistent case alignment with your press and die station.

The #9 size accommodates a specific range of larger rifle calibers, including .45-70 Government, .45-90 Sharps, .45-100 WCF, .45-110 Sharps, .45-120 Sharps, .416 Rigby, .40-65 Sharps, and 7.62×54R Russian. The steel construction provides the durability required for repeated press cycles without case slippage or deformation. Lyman shell holders are engineered for compatibility with virtually all Lyman reloading presses and function reliably with most major press brands that accept standard-mount shell holders, making this a versatile choice for multi-brand reloading setups.

Reloaders working with vintage rifle cartridges and larger specialty calibers depend on properly sized shell holders to maintain case integrity through the sizing, priming, powder charging, and bullet seating stages. The #9 size fills that requirement for the heavier caliber rifles favored in long-range precision shooting, large-game hunting, and historical firearms work. This holder is a critical component for anyone committed to consistent, safe ammunition production with non-standard cartridge dimensions.

Lyman maintains a complete family of shell holders covering the full spectrum of rifle and pistol calibers. Matching the correct size to your cartridge is essential—the #9 designation indicates this holder is purpose-built for the larger case diameters and rim dimensions found in big-bore rifle ammunition. Stock this holder as a permanent part of your reloading bench setup if you regularly work with .45-70, Sharps, or similar large-bore rifle cartridges.
