The Lee Precision 90908 Load-Master Shell Plate #2L is a hardened steel replacement and calibre-conversion component designed exclusively for the 5-station Lee Load-Master progressive reloading press. Machined to hold and index rimless cartridge cases based on the standard .473-inch case head family, this shell plate allows handloaders to run continuous multi-stage operations—including sizing, priming, charging, seating, and crimping—across five simultaneous stations.

Key Features

• 5-Station Progressive Indexing: Holds up to 5 cases simultaneously to cycle rounds through consecutive reloading dies with each pull of the press handle.
• Broad .473-Inch Case Compatibility: Interfaces with standard .473-inch case head profiles, covering popular pistol and rifle calibres including .45 ACP, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, 6.5 Creedmoor, .22-250 Remington, .243 Winchester, and .270 Winchester.
• Machined Hardened Steel: Constructed from rigid steel to withstand continuous ram leverage and maintain strict cartridge alignment across all 5 stations.
• Mechanical Operation: Fully manual press component requiring no electrical connections or external power sources.

Who is the Lee Precision Load-Master Shell Plate #2L for?

• Reloaders converting a Lee Load-Master press to load .45 ACP or .308 Winchester — provides the exact progressive press shell plate dimensions required to seat and index cartridges sharing the .473-inch case head profile across 5 active die stations.
• Handloaders maintaining legacy Lee Load-Master progressive reloading equipment — delivers a 0.31–0.32 lbs factory-spec steel replacement progressive press shell plate to restore indexing precision and shell retention on dedicated 5-station Load-Master platforms.

Less suitable for: Handloaders operating progressive presses outside the Load-Master design (such as 3-station, 4-station, or 6-station progressive presses like the Pro 1000 or Six Pack Pro), or those loading calibres with case heads significantly smaller or larger than the .473-inch profile (such as 9mm Luger, .223 Remington, or belted magnums), who require alternative dedicated shell plate sizes like the #19S, #4s, or #5L.
