Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Progressive Press Shell Plate - #35 Size
$58.11
The Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Progressive Press Shell Plate #35 Size is the quick-swap component that lets you change calibers in seconds on your Hornady progressive reloading press. If you're running a high-volume handload operation or frequently swap between different cartridges, this shell plate eliminates the downtime and frustration of manual press adjustments—just lock it in and get back to loading. The #35 size is caliber-specific, so verify your cartridge matches before ordering.
Hornady's Lock-N-Load system is built around simplicity and durability. The shell plate itself is engineered to the tight tolerances required for precision ammunition, and the quick-lock design works on both current Lock-N-Load AP Progressive models and older Hornady Projector presses, giving you real flexibility if you own multiple machines or plan to upgrade down the road.
This is a replacement or additional shell plate—it's the platform that holds and indexes your brass during the reloading cycle, so getting the right size for your caliber is critical. It's not a complete press or loading kit, just the plate itself, but it's the piece that makes caliber changes fast and repeatable. Anyone running Hornady progressive equipment and loading multiple calibers will appreciate having a dedicated shell plate for each one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the #35 shell plate fit?
The #35 size is designated for a specific set of cartridges. Check your press manual or Hornady's compatibility chart to confirm your caliber matches this plate size before purchasing.
Will this work on my older Hornady Projector press?
Yes, the Lock-N-Load AP shell plates are also compatible with earlier Hornady Projector press models, so you can use this plate across different machines if you own both.
Is this a complete reloading press or just a replacement part?
This is the shell plate only—the indexing component that holds your brass during reloading. You'll need a compatible Hornady progressive press to use it.
Can I use multiple shell plates for faster caliber switching?
Yes, many reloaders buy dedicated shell plates for each caliber they load frequently, so you can simply swap plates instead of adjusting and resizing for each cartridge type.
