The part to buy
An 88 gram and a 16 gram cartridge can share the 3/8-24 UNF thread but differ greatly in length, so a holder made for a short 16g may not physically clear an 88g cartridge even if the thread matches. Fit the holder that accepts your cartridge length and thread.
Thread match alone is not enough with cartridges; the holder must be long enough for the cartridge body. Check both the thread and the cartridge length printed on the pack before buying a holder or a box of cartridges.
