Hornady Shell Plate No. 4

The Hornady Shell Plate No. 4 (Hornady part no. 392604) is built with a subtle radius at each shell holder mouth to ensure smooth, reliable functioning on a progressive press. A retainer spring is designed to stay in place as cases are inserted into the plate, keeping the loading process consistent run after run. A single shell plate can often be used across multiple calibers, so it’s worth checking Hornady’s plate chart before assuming you need a different number for a new cartridge.
