Overview
This shellplate is intended for reloaders using a Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Progressive Press or the older Hornady Projector Press who need a caliber-specific setup for the listed cartridges. It is designed to work with Hornady’s EZ-Ject System and Pro-Jector presses, and the shellplate numbering aligns with Hornady shellholder numbers for cartridge matching. For shooters who change calibers on the bench, it provides a dedicated component to support that process without unnecessary complexity. This model fits 7.62x54mm Rimmed Russian and 7.62x53mm Rimmed.
