Hornady Shell Plate #30 -

The Hornady Shell Plate #30 is a precision reloading component designed for serious ammunition manufacturers who demand reliability and efficiency. This shell plate serves as the foundation for automated case feeding on Hornady's most popular progressive and turret presses, enabling shooters to load multiple calibers with identical case head dimensions using a single plate. Whether you're a competitive shooter, hunter, or volume reloader, this accessory eliminates costly downtime when switching between compatible cartridges.

Engineered from durable materials, the Hornady Shell Plate #30 features a precision-machined design that ensures consistent case positioning and reliable indexing through every reload cycle. Weighing just 0.56 lbs with compact dimensions of 4.05 x 0.8 x 4.55 inches, this plate is engineered to fit Hornady's Lock-N-Load AP press platform (compatible with both EZ-Ject and wire ejector models) as well as the Pro-Jector press system. The interchangeable design accommodates any caliber sharing the same case head dimensions as the #30 specification, maximizing your equipment's versatility without requiring multiple presses.

Reloaders who operate Lock-N-Load AP or Pro-Jector equipment benefit most from keeping multiple shell plates in inventory, allowing instant press reconfiguration for different calibers. Installation is straightforward—simply align and lock the plate into your press's quick-change system. This component is essential for anyone seeking to maximize press efficiency and reduce setup time between reloading sessions, making it ideal for high-volume operations, competition shooters, or those who regularly reload multiple calibers with matching case head geometry.
