RCBS Pro Chucker 5 Shell Plate - #35

The RCBS Pro Chucker 5 Shell Plate #35 is a precision-manufactured component designed to configure the RCBS Pro Chucker 5 and Pro Chucker 7 Auto Index Progressive presses for reloading specific cartridge specifications. As a caliber-specific shell plate, this component is essential for shooters who need to switch between different ammunition types or who operate multiple press setups across their reloading bench.

Shell plates are the foundation of progressive press configuration—they hold the case in precise vertical alignment throughout the reloading cycle, ensuring consistent primer seating depth, powder charge volume, and bullet seating. The #35 designation corresponds to a specific cartridge family, and proper plate selection is non-negotiable for safety and accuracy. RCBS manufactures these plates to tight tolerances, minimizing case runout and maximizing the repeatability of your finished ammunition. Reloaders who have invested in either the Pro Chucker 5 or Pro Chucker 7 platform understand that the press itself is only part of the system—having the correct shell plate on hand eliminates setup delays and allows rapid conversion between calibers.

This shell plate is ideal for reloaders who prioritize efficiency and consistency, whether you're preparing match ammunition for precision rifle competition, loading bulk rounds for practice, or maintaining multiple caliber workflows on a single press. The compact 3.5-inch design integrates seamlessly into your existing RCBS progressive press setup. Serious reloaders building an inventory of shell plates for different calibers recognize that purchasing genuine RCBS components ensures mechanical compatibility and maintains the precision your press was engineered to deliver.
