The Hornady Shell Holder #53 is a precision reloading press accessory designed to hold cartridge cases securely during resizing, seating and crimping operations. Machined from solid steel and heat-treated for lasting durability, it features a wide mouth with a rounded edge at the opening to guide cases in smoothly and reduce the risk of damage during insertion. Shell holders are a fundamental component of any single-stage or turret reloading setup, fitting the ram of Hornady presses as well as most other standard reloading presses — making this holder compatible with a broad range of equipment. According to the Hornady and third-party shellholder cross-reference charts, #53 is the correct holder for the .404 Rimless Nitro Express (.404 Jeffery), a large-bore dangerous-game cartridge favoured by hunters pursuing heavy game at close range. Because case-head dimensions are shared across certain cartridge families, a single shell holder may serve multiple calibres; consult Hornady's Reloading Essentials chart to confirm fitment for any additional cartridges. Sold individually.
