Overview

The Small-Caliber Precision Master One Holder for Every .22 to .223 Dream. From the lightning-fast .204 Ruger and .223 Remington to the benchrest darling .222 Rem Mag and the wildcat wizard’s favorite 6mm TCU, Hornady Shell Holder #16 is the single, unbreakable link that turns tiny cases into tack-driving masterpieces. Precision-machined from heat-treated steel with a wide mouth and perfectly beveled edges, it swallows even the smallest .17 and .20 caliber brass like they were made for itbecause they were. Snap it into any standard press ram (Hornady, RCBS, Lee, Redding, etc.) without a single set screw and feel the rock-solid lock-up that delivers perfect headspace, uniform shoulders, and zero runout, every stroke, every time. This is the shell holder trusted by varmint snipers who demand one-hole groups at 300 yards, prairie-dog exterminators who shoot all day, and PRS shooters who refuse to give up a tenth on the clock. One holder rules them all: .17 Rem, .204 Ruger, .221 Fireball, .222, .223, .300 Blackout, 6.5 Grendel (with minor adaptation), 7mm TCU, and dozens of PPC and BR-based wildcats. Why #16 is glued to every serious small-caliber press: Lifetime-tough heat-treated steel that never wears, never wobbles. Instant tool-free installation and removal. Flawless alignment for match-grade consistency even at 1,000-yard velocities. Made in the USA with Hornady’s legendary no-questions lifetime warranty. At pocket-change money, Hornady Shell Holder #16 is the smartest, fastest way to turn good small-bore rifles into great ones.
