RCBS AmmoMaster/ Piggyback Shell Plate #43

The RCBS AmmoMaster/Piggyback Shell Plate #43 is a precision reloading component engineered for shooters and reloaders who demand consistency and reliability in ammunition production. Specifically designed for use with the RCBS AmmoMaster Piggyback or Pro2000 progressive reloading presses, this shell plate enables seamless processing of .223 WSSM, .243 WSSM, and .300 WSM cartridges. Whether you're a competitive marksman, precision rifle enthusiast, or volume shooter maintaining your own ammunition, this shell plate is essential for maximizing the efficiency and accuracy potential of your progressive press system.

This shell plate functions as the critical interface between your press and the ammunition cases, precisely positioning each cartridge through the reloading sequence. The #43 configuration is specifically calibrated to the dimensional and weight specifications of Winchester Short Magnum cartridges, ensuring proper primer seating, powder charging, and bullet seating with minimal runout and maximum repeatability. The compact, durable design weighs just 0.3 pounds and measures 2.8 x 0.55 x 3 inches, making it easy to swap between different caliber setups when transitioning between loading tasks or adjusting your reloading schedule.

Reloaders operating RCBS AmmoMaster Piggyback or Pro2000 systems who work with magnum rifle cartridges will find this shell plate indispensable for maintaining production speed without sacrificing quality. Installation is straightforward—it mounts directly to your existing press mechanism with no modification required. Having multiple shell plates on hand for different cartridge families eliminates setup time and reduces the risk of accidentally processing wrong-caliber ammunition, a critical safety consideration in any serious reloading operation.
