Shell Plates

Shell plates are essential components in progressive and turret reloading presses. Their role is to securely hold and rotate cases through each station of the press, ensuring perfect alignment for every step — from sizing to seating and crimping. Each shell plate is designed for specific calibers or groups of cartridges with similar case head dimensions. Choosing the correct plate for your caliber and press model is crucial for smooth operation and consistent results. Made from hardened steel or high-strength alloys, shell plates are built to withstand high-volume reloading. We stock shell plates compatible with leading brands like Dillon, Hornady, Lee, RCBS, and more — with guaranteed fit and performance. If you use a progressive or turret press, investing in the right shell plate will boost your reloading speed, safety, and precision.
