Overview

The Pistol King One Holder to Rule Them All. When you’re churning out thousands of 9mm, .38 Super, .40 S&W, or any of the high-volume pistol calibers that keep the range hot and the timer happy, you don’t have time for sloppy alignment or sticky cases. Hornady Shell Holder #8 is the precision-machined, heat-treated steel beast that locks 9mm Luger, 9x21, 9x23 Win, .30 Luger, .38 Auto, .38 Super, and a dozen more straight-wall and semi-rimmed pistol cartridges dead-center in your pressevery single stroke. Wide mouth and beveled edges let cases practically fall in, then snap into any standard ram (Hornady or any other brand) with no set screws, no wobble, no drama. Full-length size, de-cap, expand, seat, and crimp with absolute repeatability, so your competition loads feed like factory and your carry ammo hits the same point of aim every time. Calibers it masters (just a few): 9mm Luger 9x21 9x23 Win .30 Luger .30 Mauser .38 Auto .38 Super Auto 9x18 Makarov .380 Auto (with minor adaptation) and more.
