RCBS AmmoMaster/ Piggyback Shell Plate #3

The RCBS AmmoMaster/Piggyback Shell Plate #3 is a precision-engineered reloading component designed to maintain critical case alignment during the ammunition assembly process. As part of RCBS's modular 5-station reloading press system, this shell plate ensures consistent indexing between successive reloading operations—a fundamental requirement for producing match-grade ammunition with tight tolerances.

Shell Plate #3 is caliber-specific and designed to securely hold cases of the appropriate diameter during the complete reloading cycle. Proper case positioning relative to the die station is essential for uniform case neck sizing, consistent bullet seating depth, and reliable primer pocket control. The plate's machined precision ensures minimal runout and repeatable centering across hundreds of cycles. The compact, lightweight design (0.34 lbs) fits the Piggyback and standard AmmoMaster configurations, making it a direct-mount component requiring no additional adapters or tools for installation on compatible RCBS presses.

This component serves precision rifle reloaders, competitive shooters, and ammunition specialists who depend on repeatable, documented round-to-round consistency. Handloaders working with hunting or match ammunition benefit from the reliable case indexing this shell plate provides. Replacement or spare plates are essential maintenance items for active reloading operations, ensuring continuity when switching between calibers or maintaining backup press setups. RCBS shell plates are engineered to SAAMI standards and engineered for long service life when used with appropriate case sizes.
