The Lee A-P Shellholder #16 is a precision reloading component designed for shooters and ammunition reloaders who work with large-diameter magnum rifle cartridges and specialty revolver rounds. This shellholder serves as the critical interface between your reloading press and cartridge case, ensuring proper alignment and support during the priming process. Built for shooters who demand consistency across high-volume reloading operations, the #16 holder accommodates 7.62×54 Russian rifle ammunition, .500 Smith & Wesson revolver rounds, and similar large-format cases that require specialized tooling.
The Lee A-P Shellholder #16 features a precisely machined design that grips the case head rim with repeatable accuracy, eliminating case wobble and ensuring uniform primer seating depth—critical for reliable ignition and shot consistency. The holder's durable construction securely seats into your press's ram assembly and maintains concentricity throughout the priming stroke. The #16 specification is engineered to the exact dimensional standards required for the larger case families it supports, allowing you to work confidently with cartridges where proper case control directly impacts both accuracy and safety. Weighing just 0.04 lbs, this component is lightweight yet robust enough for thousands of reload cycles.
Long-range rifle hunters, tactical marksmen, and dedicated hand-loaders working with 7.62×54 Russian or large-format magnum cases will find this shellholder an essential addition to their reloading setup. If you're loading .500 S&W for handgun hunting or specialized defense applications, the #16 ensures the primer pocket is prepped and seated with the precision these powerful rounds demand. Before installing, verify your Lee press accepts standard shellholders and confirm your cartridge case is listed in the #16 compatibility range. This component integrates seamlessly with Lee's A-P (Auto Prime) press systems and other standard reloading presses that use Lee's universal shellholder mounting design.
