Which specific reloading presses are compatible with the Lee Precision Breech Lock Pro Shell Plate #13?

This shell plate is exclusively designed for the Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro and Lee Pro 4000 4-station progressive reloading presses. It is not compatible with other Lee progressive platforms such as the Pro 1000, Load-Master, or Lee Six Pack Pro presses.

Is this shell plate suitable for standard .45 ACP rimless cases?

No, this Shell Plate #13 is specifically engineered with a dedicated cutout for the thick rim profile of .45 Auto Rim cases. Rimless .45 ACP cases require a different shell plate, such as Plate #2, to ensure correct retention and indexing.

What are the maximum cartridge overall length limitations when using this shell plate on the Auto Breech Lock Pro?

The Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro press auto-indexes cartridges with a Maximum Overall Length of up to 2.30 inches (58 mm). Standard .45 Auto Rim ammunition, which sits at around 1.275 inches (32.4 mm), fits comfortably well within this operating envelope.

Does this mechanical component require any electrical compliance or SAA/RCM approval for use in Australia?

No, the Lee Precision Breech Lock Pro Shell Plate #13 is a 100% mechanical and manual reloading press component with no electrical parts. Therefore, electrical compliance, 240V ratings, and SAA or RCM regulatory approvals are not applicable.

Shell Plate #13 - Lee Precision 90649

The Lee Precision 90649 Breech Lock Pro Shell Plate #13 is a precision-machined steel carrier plate engineered for the Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro and Pro 4000 4-station progressive reloading presses. It secures and indexes .45 Auto Rim cartridge cases through each progressive stage—including depriming, sizing, priming, powder charging, bullet seating, and crimping—with minimal rim flex. Designed to fit the distinctive thick rim profile of .45 Auto Rim cases, this mechanical plate enables rapid calibre conversion on compatible 4-station press platforms.

Who is the Lee Precision Breech Lock Pro Shell Plate #13 for?

Revolver Shooters Loading .45 Auto Rim: Requires dedicated shell retention designed specifically for the .45 Auto Rim cartridge profile, allowing reloaders to produce rimmed ammunition for .45-calibre revolvers without handling loose moon clips.
Competitive Target Shooters: Utilises the 4-station progressive indexing capacity of the Auto Breech Lock Pro press, comfortably processing .45 Auto Rim cartridges within the press platform's maximum 2.30-inch (58 mm) overall length limit.

Less suitable for: Owners of alternative progressive reloading platforms such as the Lee Pro 1000, Load-Master, or Six Pack Pro, or single-stage press operators; these setups require dedicated platform-specific progressive shell plates or a standard universal press shell holder instead.
