The Lee Precision Six Pack Pro Shell Plate Size 2L transforms progressive reloading by accommodating multiple cartridge cases without toolhead changes. This precision-machined shell plate eliminates the downtime associated with caliber switching, allowing reloaders to maintain consistent production rates across different ammunition types.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard single-caliber shell plates, the Six Pack Pro design features precision-engineered case holding positions that accommodate the dimensional variations found in Size 2L cartridges. The hardened steel construction maintains consistent case alignment through thousands of loading cycles. This multi-caliber capability reduces setup time by up to 75% compared to traditional shell plate systems.
Key Features
- Size 2L compatibility covers popular cartridges including .38 Special, .357 Magnum, and .41 Magnum
- Precision-machined steel construction with hardened surface treatment for extended wear resistance
- Six-position indexing system ensures consistent case positioning and primer pocket alignment
- Drop-in compatibility with Lee Precision progressive presses without modification
- Chamfered case insertion points reduce brass damage during loading operations
- Heat-treated construction rated for over 50,000 loading cycles
- Factory-matched tolerances maintain consistent cartridge overall length specifications
Reloaders report smooth operation across various case manufacturers and brass conditions. The shell plate maintains consistent primer seating depth regardless of case wall thickness variations. Competition shooters benefit from the ability to switch between practice and match ammunition without press reconfiguration. The robust construction handles both standard and magnum powder charges without case extraction issues.
