Claim Text:
1. A shell holder for a firearm having a mounting facility, the shell holder comprising: a body including a plurality of bores each defining a bore axis; a plurality of elastomeric elements, each associated with a different selected one of the bores; each elastomeric element having a protruding portion that protrudes a selected and continuously adjustable distance into the bore responsive to compression of the elastomeric element; and a plurality of movable adjustment elements, each connected to the body outside of the bores and each operably engaged to a different selected one of the elastomeric elements to compress the associated elastomeric element in a direction substantially parallel to the bore axis; wherein the selected distance the protruding portion of an elastomeric element protrudes into the bore is adjustable through a range of protrusion amounts based on an adjustment position of an associated adjustment element, and the selected distance is independently adjustable for each elastomeric element; wherein the adjustment position is fixed relative to radial outward force exerted upon the elastomeric element for all adjustment positions; and wherein the elastomeric element is positioned at one side of the bore, so as to provide an eccentric lateral force on a shell.
