Lee Precision Pro 1000 Shell Plate #1 - 38 Special/357 Magnum

The Lee Precision Pro 1000 Shell Plate #1 transforms reloading efficiency for 38 Special and 357 Magnum cartridges. This precision-machined component integrates seamlessly with the Pro 1000 progressive press system to deliver consistent case positioning and smooth operation through every stage of the reloading process.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic shell plates that require frequent adjustments, this Lee Precision plate features exact dimensional tolerances matched specifically to 38 Special and 357 Magnum case specifications. The hardened steel construction maintains precise alignment under the repetitive stress of progressive reloading operations. Each indexing position locks cases securely while allowing smooth rotation between stations.

Key Features

• Precision-machined hardened steel construction for long-term durability
• Five indexing positions for complete progressive reloading cycle
• Exact case fit for both 38 Special and 357 Magnum cartridges
