The Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Progressive Press Shell Plate #40 is a caliber-specific shell plate designed for use with Hornady's Lock-N-Load AP progressive reloading press. If you're running a high-volume reloading setup or need the flexibility to switch between calibers without extensive press adjustments, this shell plate makes the job straightforward. The #40 plate is engineered from quality materials built to handle repeated reloading cycles, so you can focus on consistency and output rather than equipment maintenance.
One of the biggest advantages of the Hornady Lock-N-Load system is how quickly you can change calibers. Instead of reconfiguring your entire press, you simply swap out the shell plate—a task that takes minutes, not hours. This design works seamlessly with the Lock-N-Load AP press and is also compatible with older Hornady Projector Press models, giving you flexibility if you're working with legacy equipment or planning an eventual upgrade.
Whether you're a high-volume pistol reloader, preparing match ammunition, or working through a large rifle batch, the right shell plate is foundational to smooth operation. The #40 is purpose-built for specific cartridges, so accuracy in ordering matters—verify your caliber match before purchase. Once you have the correct plate installed, you'll appreciate how the Lock-N-Load system keeps your reloading workflow efficient and repeatable.
The #40 shell plate is compatible with the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP progressive press and also works with older Hornady Projector Press models. Verify your specific press model before ordering to ensure compatibility.
The #40 designation identifies this plate for a specific cartridge. Check the Hornady compatibility chart or contact us to confirm which caliber this plate handles—using the correct plate for your cartridge is critical for safe, accurate reloading.
The Lock-N-Load system allows you to swap shell plates quickly without reconfiguring your entire press. Simply remove the current plate and install the appropriate plate for your new caliber, then adjust your other press components as needed for that cartridge.
You receive the shell plate itself. Any additional components, tooling, or adapters needed for your specific setup should be verified before purchase.
