The Hornady Shell Plate #9 is a machined steel rotating plate designed for the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP progressive press and the Projector press. Mounted on the press's central indexing platform, it rotates to advance cartridge cases through each die station — sizing, decapping, priming, powder charging, and bullet seating — holding cases in precise alignment at every step. A subtle radius machined into each shell holder mouth allows cases to enter and exit cleanly, preventing the scoring or case-mouth distortion that can occur with poorly fitted plates. Hornady's retainer spring keeps cases firmly seated in the plate as it indexes rather than releasing them prematurely, which contributes to smooth, consistent cycling during high-volume loading. Shell plates are numbered to indicate the case-head diameter group they are designed for, with each plate typically serving several calibres of the same head size. Consult the Hornady shell plate compatibility chart to verify that Shell Plate #9 is the correct plate for your cartridge.
