Lee Precision shell plate #12L for Load Master press (22 PPC, 6mm PPC, 7.62x39)

Lee Precision #12L shell plate for Load Master press

The #12L shell plate is the shell carrier for the Lee Load-Master progressive press. It holds the cartridge case rims and moves them through the press's five stations, from depriming and resizing to crimping, rotating 72° with each full stroke of the lever. It is selected based on the rim diameter, i.e., the group of calibers you intend to reload.

Each Load-Master shell plate covers a family of cartridges that share the same rim: as long as you stay within the group, it does not need to be replaced, while switching to a different rim diameter requires the corresponding plate. If the new caliber uses different size primers, the appropriate priming assembly (small or large) must also be provided. The plate works in conjunction with the press's indexer, flipper, and ejector; Lee Precision moved the Load-Master platform to legacy status in April 2022, and the shell plates remain available as spare parts.
