RCBS Pro Chucker 7 Shell Plate - #35

The RCBS Pro Chucker 7 Shell Plate #35 is a precision-engineered indexing component designed to configure RCBS Pro Chucker 5 and Pro Chucker 7 Auto Index Progressive reloading presses for specific cartridge specifications. As a dedicated shell plate accessory, it enables shooters to transition their progressive press between different caliber setups without replacing the entire press assembly, making it an essential component for handloaders who work with multiple cartridge types.

Shell plates are caliber-specific indexing wheels that position each cartridge case at the correct station within the progressive press cycle. The #35 designation indicates this plate is engineered for a particular cartridge family, allowing the press to automatically advance cases through each reloading stage—sizing, priming, powder charging, and bullet seating—in synchronized rotation. RCBS manufactures these components to tight tolerances to ensure consistent case positioning and prevent misfeeds or out-of-sequence operations that could compromise cartridge quality or press reliability.

This accessory is ideal for reloaders who maintain multiple cartridge libraries—whether for rifle, pistol, or specialty calibers—and want to maximize their investment in a single press platform. Rather than purchasing separate presses for each caliber, shell plate swaps allow quick press reconfiguration. Serious handloaders managing high-volume production, competitive shooters supporting multiple competition divisions, or hunters preparing ammunition for different seasons all benefit from the flexibility of interchangeable shell plate systems. The compact design (3.55 x 3.9 inches) integrates seamlessly with existing Pro Chucker press assemblies.

RCBS has long established itself as a leader in reloading equipment, with Pro Chucker progressive presses recognized for durability and ease of use across diverse reloading environments. Replacement and upgrade components like this shell plate ensure that your press hardware remains current and capable as your reloading needs evolve.
