Foster Shell Holders Model 'L.S.' for Reloading and Shooting
The 'LS' Jaws Foster Shell Holder is engineered to fit a wide range of calibers, providing exceptional versatility for metallic and semi-metallic reloading applications. This precision-crafted shell holder is designed to securely grip cartridge cases during resizing, priming, and other critical stages of the reloading process, ensuring consistent alignment and enhanced operational efficiency.
During rigorous initial testing, our proprietary full-body shell holder design demonstrated remarkable durability and reliability. A 300 H&H Magnum case, completely dry and unlubricated, was extracted repeatedlyup to one hundred cycleswithout any degradation in performance or case damage. This level of endurance underscores the robustness of the LS Jaws in demanding reloading environments.
The shell holder operates by clamping firmly onto the cartridge case, supported by spring-loaded jaws that engage positively with the extractor groove at the base of the case. This secure grip minimizes case slippage and ensures precise positioning within the reloading press, which is critical for maintaining dimensional consistency and preventing case deformation.
Moreover, the LS Jaws shell holder features an automatic clamping mechanism. When a cartridge is inserted into the die and the press handle is actuated, the jaws open to accept the case and then close tightly around it, providing a secure hold throughout the operation. This automation streamlines the reloading workflow, reducing manual adjustments and increasing throughput.
Upon completion of the resizing or priming cycle, as the press handle is raised, the jaws automatically release the cartridge case, allowing for smooth and efficient case removal. This hands-free release mechanism enhances user convenience and contributes to faster reloading sessions, making the LS Jaws an indispensable tool for precision handloaders and professional reloaders alike.
