#19 Press Type Shellholder

The Hornady #19 Press Type Shellholder is a precision reloading component designed for shooters and ammunition loaders working with 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser cartridges. This press-type shellholder serves as the essential interface between your reloading press and fired brass casings, ensuring consistent case positioning during the resizing and reloading cycle. Whether you're a competitive rifleman, precision hunter, or military small arms enthusiast, a dedicated shellholder for your specific caliber eliminates guesswork and reduces the risk of case damage during the critical initial stages of ammunition preparation.

The #19 Press Type Shellholder is engineered to hold 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser brass with precision tolerances, allowing your reloading press to apply uniform sizing force without deflection or slippage. Press-type holders mount directly into the top of your press ram and grip the case head securely, maintaining proper headspace alignment throughout the resizing stroke. Hornady's design philosophy emphasizes durable steel construction and tight manufacturing tolerances, ensuring that each loading cycle maintains case concentricity and extends brass life across multiple reloading sessions. The lightweight design—0.05 lbs—contributes to smooth press operation without adding unnecessary inertia to your equipment.

Reloaders working with vintage military rifles, Scandinavian hunting platforms, or collectors maintaining historical rifle systems will find the #19 Press Type Shellholder indispensable for consistent ammunition production. It is compatible with all standard Hornady press equipment and most universal press systems that utilize interchangeable shellholder designs. Before installation, confirm your press model accepts press-type holders and verify that your press ram threads match standard specifications. This component is not a standalone item—it requires integration into an active reloading press setup to function and should only be operated by individuals trained in safe ammunition reloading practices.
