It's built around Hornady's quick-change Lock-N-Load system, so swapping between your 50 BMG work and standard rifle cartridges is fast and reliable.

It's an economical way to maximize your existing press investment.
Like all Lock-N-Load components, the Shell Head Adapter is engineered to Hornady's standards for precision and durability. If you're serious about hand loading and already own the press, this is a smart addition to your reloading room.
