The RCBS 5-Station Shell Plate RT 8 (brand part no. 88808) properly aligns the case with the reloading die throughout every stage of the reloading cycle. Built from hardened steel, this shell plate engages 0.125 inch of the case head to hold proper SAAMI headspacing, a critical safety and consistency measure on any progressive press. It’s built to run on RCBS’s PiggyBack-family and AmmoMaster/Auto Pro 2000-series progressive presses, giving reloaders on one of these platforms a direct-fit five-station replacement or upgrade plate.
