RCBS Pro Chucker 5 Shell Plate - #2

The RCBS Pro Chucker 5 Shell Plate #2 is a precision-engineered indexing component designed to configure RCBS Pro Chucker 5 and Pro Chucker 7 Auto Index Progressive reloading presses. Shell plates are critical tooling items that position ammunition cases during the progressive indexing cycle, directly affecting reloading accuracy and consistency across multiple stages of the cartridge reload process.

The #2 designation indicates this shell plate is caliber-specific, compatible with cartridges including .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and similar full-power rifle calibers. RCBS manufactures shell plates to exacting tolerances to ensure proper case nesting and zero runout during the indexing sequence. The precision fit prevents case shift between stations, maintaining the alignment required for smooth operation through sizing, decapping, powder charging, and bullet seating stages. At 0.49 lbs, the shell plate integrates seamlessly into the press assembly without adding significant weight to the rotating indexing wheel.

This component is essential for reloaders who operate Pro Chucker 5 or Pro Chucker 7 systems and need to change calibers or maintain backup tooling. Having dedicated shell plates for each cartridge type eliminates the need for repeated setup adjustments when switching between rifle calibers. Serious reloaders who process multiple calibers or operate high-volume production setups benefit from maintaining a complete shell plate inventory. The RCBS Pro Chucker 5 Shell Plate #2 is manufactured to the same standards as OEM RCBS tooling, ensuring compatibility and longevity within the press system.
