Description
If you run a Wilson case trimmer and load for the .22 Hornet, this is the caliber-specific holder that makes the whole setup sing. The L.E. Wilson 22 Hornet Fired Case Holder cradles your brass by the body taper rather than gripping the case head, which keeps the case aligned along its axis with the cutter. That alignment is the whole point here. When the case sits square and solid, your trim comes out even all the way around the mouth, and you get the kind of repeatable length you want for accurate reloads.
What Sets the 22 Hornet Fired Case Holder Apart
The design supports the case body much like the chamber of a firearm, so there's no flex or wobble while the cutter does its work. This holder is marked for fired cases, meaning it's cut to the slightly larger dimensions of brass that's already been shot and neck sized. It also pulls double duty beyond trimming. Drop a case in and you can run primer pocket reaming, neck reaming, and deburring with Wilson's Uniform Deburring tool, all sold separately. A groove turned near the head end tells you at a glance which way the case goes in.
Getting the Most From Your 22 Hornet Case Holder
Using it is about as simple as reloading gear gets. Seat the case into the holder, give the rim a tap against a block of wood or a bench to square it up, then set the holder on the rails of your trimmer with the head pressed against the stop screw. Rotate the cutter until the shavings stop and you're done. A lot of folks like holding the case holder by hand for better feel, though the optional case holder clamp works too if you prefer to lock it down.
One tip worth passing along: keep the inside and outside of the holder clean of brass shavings, and give it a light wipe of oil before storing it. These are machined from steel, and a little care keeps them doing their job for a very long time. Made in the U.S.A.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 22 Hornet Fired Case Holder work with?
It's designed to be used with the L.E. Wilson Case Trimmer, where it sits on the trimmer rails and keeps your case aligned with the cutter. Beyond trimming, the same holder works for primer pocket reaming, neck reaming, and deburring when paired with Wilson's Uniform Deburring tool. Those accessories are sold separately.
Is this holder for new or fired .22 Hornet brass?
This one is marked as a Fired case holder, which means it's cut for the dimensions of cases that have already been shot and neck sized. If you're mostly working brand new or full-length resized brass, that can sometimes run slightly smaller than a fired holder expects. Choose the holder that matches the brass you're prepping most.
How does the case stay put while I trim?
The case is held by its body taper rather than the case head, with the holder supporting the case much like a firearm chamber does. You seat the case in, tap the rim on a block of wood to square it up, then press the head against the stop screw. That design is what delivers the square, repeatable cuts Wilson trimmers are known for.
Do I need the case holder clamp to use this?
No, the clamp is optional. Plenty of reloaders prefer holding the case holder by hand because it gives better feel and lets you sense any chatter as the cutter works. The clamp is there if you'd rather lock the holder down on the stand, especially for higher-volume sessions.
