The Hornady Shell Holder #49 (item 390605) is a reloading press accessory machined from solid steel and heat-treated for long-term durability. It is designed specifically for the 8×50R Lebel cartridge, a historic rimmed French military round still sought by collectors and vintage-rifle enthusiasts. The wide mouth and rounded edge at the shell holder opening make case insertion smooth and consistent, reducing the risk of case damage during the full-length resize or seating stroke. Like all Hornady universal shell holders, #49 fits Hornady's own Lock-N-Load presses — the AP, Iron Press, Classic, and Classic Pro — as well as most other standard 7/8-inch-by-14-thread reloading presses. No tools are required to swap shell holders between operations; they drop in and lock securely. For reloaders working with the 8×50R Lebel, this is the correct holder to pair with compatible Hornady dies. Check Hornady's online Reloading Essentials chart to confirm fitment with your specific calibre and press setup before ordering.
