Lee Load-Master Shell Plate - #9L Size

The Lee Load-Master Shell Plate #9L Size is a precision reloading component manufactured by Lee Precision for use with the Load Master progressive press. This shell plate is engineered to accommodate a specific range of rifle and pistol cartridges, enabling operators and reloaders to process multiple caliber families on a single press platform without requiring complete press reconfiguration.

Constructed from hardened steel, the Load-Master Shell Plate #9L delivers the dimensional stability required for consistent case indexing during the multi-stage progressive reloading cycle. The #9L specification supports cartridges including .22 Benchrest, .240 Weatherby Magnum, 6mm Remington, .25-06 Remington, 7x57mm Mauser, .300 Savage, and 7.7mm Japanese. Proper shell plate selection is critical to reloading accuracy—mismatched plates result in case misalignment, primers failing to seat correctly, and powder charge inconsistencies that degrade precision and safety.

This component is essential for dedicated reloaders and ammunition manufacturers who demand repeatability across high-volume production runs. Whether preparing precision rifle ammunition for long-range verification, processing brass for tactical training cycles, or maintaining a custom cartridge library, the correct shell plate ensures indexing reliability and reduces setup time between caliber changes. The compact form factor (2.7 x 0.75 x 2.95 inches) allows for efficient storage and quick press changeover without specialized tools or alignment procedures.
