Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Progressive Press Shell Plate #5

The Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Progressive Press Shell Plate, size #5 (brand part no. 392605), is a caliber-specific plate that lets you swap chamberings on a Lock-N-Load AP press without buying a new press. Made by Hornady, it holds cases in the correct station-to-station position so your progressive press cycles reliably through sizing, priming, powder charging, and seating.

Key Specifications

• Sized to the #5 plate designation, matched to case head diameter for the cartridges that use this size.
• Fits the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP progressive press for fast, repeatable multi-station reloading.
• Also compatible with the older Hornady Projector Press, so it isn’t limited to current-generation equipment.
• Built from quality press-grade material designed for years of repeated cycling under load.
• Lets you change calibers on the same press simply by swapping the plate for the size that matches your cartridge.
