The Hornady Lock-N-Load Shell Plate #16 is a multi-caliber steel shell plate designed for reloaders running Lock-N-Load AP or Pro-Jector presses. This single plate accommodates multiple calibers that share the same case head dimensions, letting you consolidate your shell plate collection and simplify press setup. The silver-finish steel construction is built to handle the demands of high-volume reloading without wear.
Shell Plate #16 is compatible with both EZ-Ject and wire ejector models of the Lock-N-Load AP press, as well as Pro-Jector equipment. If your press uses the older spring-type cartridge case ejector system, you'll need to purchase the Hornady Auto press retrofit kit (model 749-012-552) to bring it up to current Lock-N-Load specs. Before ordering, verify your press model and ejector type to ensure a seamless fit.
Reloaders who already own a Lock-N-Load AP or Pro-Jector press and are looking to expand their caliber range will find this plate a practical way to do so without investing in a new press. Check the Hornady shell plate chart to confirm which calibers your #16 plate will handle—knowing your case head dimensions ahead of time saves setup time at the bench.
