Description
The Hornady Lock-N-Load Shell Plate 45 is a precision-machined, heat-treated steel shell plate engineered for use with Hornady’s Lock-N-Load AP progressive presses (both EZ-Ject and wire ejector models) and the Pro-Jector progressive press. Sized as 45, this multi-caliber plate is purpose-built to support smooth, reliable function on a busy reloading bench.
The 45 plate covers a versatile lineup of large pistol cartridges, including 400 Cor-Bon, .45 ACP, .45 Winchester Magnum, and .45 Auto Rimmed — making it a go-to choice for anyone reloading big-bore handgun rounds on a Lock-N-Load AP setup. Each shell holder mouth is finished with a subtle radius to ensure smooth case feeding and ejection round after round, while the integrated retainer spring is designed to stay firmly in place throughout the reloading cycle.
Precision-machined from solid steel and heat-treated for durability, this plate stands up to the high cycle counts of progressive reloading. Drop it onto your Lock-N-Load AP or Pro-Jector press and you’re ready to reload the .45-caliber family with confidence.
