Hornady Shellplate #36 for Lock-N-Load AP & Pro Reloading Presses

The Hornady Shellplate #36 is a precision reloading component engineered for use with Hornady's Lock-N-Load AP and Pro-Jector reloading presses. If you're running either of these press models, this shellplate enables you to reload multiple cartridge types that share the same case head dimensions—expanding your reloading versatility without swapping equipment. It's a straightforward way to handle caliber variety on a single press setup.

Shellplate #36 is compatible with both EZ-Ject and wire ejector versions of the Lock-N-Load AP, as well as the Pro-Jector press. Before installation, confirm your press configuration: if your unit still runs the older spring-type cartridge case ejector system, you'll need to purchase the Hornady Auto press retrofit kit (part #749-012-552) to make this shellplate compatible. That's a one-time upgrade that brings older presses up to spec.

Whether you're consolidating your reloading workflow or adding new calibers to your roster, a dedicated shellplate designed for your specific press takes the guesswork out of setup and keeps your turret change-overs quick and reliable. It's the kind of straightforward upgrade that serious handloaders appreciate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What presses does Hornady Shellplate #36 fit?

Shellplate #36 is designed for the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP (both EZ-Ject and wire ejector versions) and the Pro-Jector reloading press.

Do I need anything else to install this shellplate on my press?

If your press uses the newer ejector system, installation is straightforward. However, if your Lock-N-Load AP or Pro-Jector still has the older spring-type cartridge case ejector system, you'll need to purchase the Hornady Auto press retrofit kit (part #749-012-552) before this shellplate will be compatible.

Can one shellplate handle multiple calibers?

Yes. Shellplate #36 will hold multiple calibers provided they share the same case head dimensions, making it useful for reloading a variety of cartridges without changing plates.
