The Hornady Lock-N-Load Shell Plate #32 is a multi-caliber steel plate designed for reloaders using Hornady's Lock-N-Load AP or Pro-Jector press systems. This shell plate enables you to load multiple cartridges with matching case head dimensions, making it a practical addition if you work with several calibers on the same press. Steel construction ensures durability through thousands of rounds, and the plate indexes reliably with both EZ-Ject and wire ejector models of the Lock-N-Load AP press.
Shell plates are core to efficient progressive reloading—they position cases correctly at each station so you can load with confidence and consistency. The #32 plate covers a specific range of case head sizes, so verify compatibility with your calibers before purchase. If your Lock-N-Load AP press uses the older spring-type cartridge case ejector system, you'll need to retrofit with Hornady's Auto press retrofit kit (model 749-012-552) to use current shell plates; newer wire ejector models work directly with these plates.
Whether you're ramping up production for hunting season, fine-tuning match rounds, or simply looking to expand your reloading capability without buying a second press, a shell plate swap is the economical way to add caliber flexibility. Hornady's Lock-N-Load system has earned a solid reputation among reloaders for repeatability and ease of use, and the #32 plate is a straightforward way to unlock that potential across compatible cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the #32 shell plate fit?
The #32 plate accommodates multiple calibers that share the same case head dimensions. Consult Hornady's shell plate chart or contact the manufacturer to confirm your specific cartridges are compatible with this plate number.
Will this shell plate work with my older Lock-N-Load AP press?
If your press uses the older spring-type cartridge case ejector system, you'll need to install Hornady's Auto press retrofit kit (model 749-012-552) before using current shell plates. Presses with the newer wire ejector design are compatible without modification.
What presses use the Lock-N-Load #32 shell plate?
The #32 shell plate is designed for Hornady Lock-N-Load AP presses (both EZ-Ject and wire ejector versions) and the Pro-Jector press.
Do I need to buy anything else to use this shell plate?
The shell plate itself is ready to use on compatible presses. However, if your press has an older spring-type ejector system, the Auto press retrofit kit (749-012-552) is required for compatibility with current plates.
