RCBS Pro Chucker 5 Shell Plate - #12

The RCBS Pro Chucker 5 Shell Plate #12 is a precision-manufactured indexing component designed for use with the RCBS Pro Chucker 5 and Pro Chucker 7 auto-indexing progressive reloading presses. This shell plate is essential for ensuring that cases are positioned accurately at each reloading station, which is crucial for producing consistent and safe ammunition.

The #12 designation indicates that this shell plate is calibrated for specific cartridge families, making it vital to select the correct plate for optimal press reliability and ammunition quality. RCBS manufactures these plates to tight tolerances, which helps maintain indexing accuracy over thousands of rounds. As a wear component, it is designed to withstand continuous mechanical cycling and impacts from case feeding.

Reloaders who engage in high-volume operations, such as competitive shooters and extensive hunters, will find significant benefits in using dedicated shell plates for each caliber. This practice minimizes setup time, reduces indexing errors, and prolongs the lifespan of the press by preventing wear associated with frequent plate changes.
