Description
The Lee Precision Pro 1000 Shell Plate #2 is the part that keeps your progressive press running smoothly when you're loading the .45 ACP family of cartridges. This plate is sized to handle 45 ACP, 45 GAP, and 400 Cor-bon, along with other cases that share the same rim and base dimensions. Since the 400 Cor-bon is essentially a .45 ACP case necked down to .40, it rides on the same shell plate without any fuss. It's made of steel and holds a single casing in the station as it moves through each die on the press.
What the Pro 1000 Shell Plate #2 Does on Your Press
The shell plate is the rotating hub of the Pro 1000. It indexes your brass from station to station so the press can size, prime, charge, and seat without you handling each case by hand. Pick the right plate for your cartridge and the whole system runs the way Lee designed it. Running the correct plate for your rim diameter is what keeps the cases seated square and feeding reliably through the cycle.
Quick Caliber Changes With the #2 Shell Plate
One of the best things about the Pro 1000 system is how fast you can jump between calibers. Changing shell plates takes no tools, so switching from one setup to another is a quick job at the bench. Keep in mind that if you're moving to a caliber that uses a different primer size, you'll want to grab the Pro 1000 primer attachment to go with it. For anything in the .45 ACP, 45 GAP, or 400 Cor-bon lineup, this plate covers you.
A Note on Press Compatibility
This plate is built for the Lee Pro 1000 press. If you're running one of the newer Pro 1000 models that uses a three-hole alignment pin setup, double check your press version before ordering, since the plate pattern matters for proper fit. For the classic Pro 1000 and the loads it's made for, this #2 plate drops right in and gets you loading.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the Pro 1000 Shell Plate #2 fit?
This plate is sized for the 45 ACP, 45 GAP, and 400 Cor-bon, plus other cases that share the same rim and base dimensions. Because the 400 Cor-bon is a .45 ACP case necked down to .40, it works on the same plate. If your cartridge shares those base dimensions, the #2 plate will handle it.
Do I need any tools to change the shell plate on my Pro 1000?
No tools are needed to swap plates on the Pro 1000, which is one of the big advantages of the system. You can move from one caliber to another in just a few minutes at the bench. If you're switching to a caliber with a different primer size, you'll also want the Pro 1000 primer attachment.
Will this shell plate work with the newer Pro 1000 presses?
This #2 plate is made for the Lee Pro 1000. Some of the newer Pro 1000 models use a three-hole alignment pin setup, so it's worth confirming which version of the press you have before ordering. For the classic Pro 1000, it fits right in.
Does the Pro 1000 Shell Plate #2 come with primer parts or dies?
No, the plate is sold on its own and includes just the single #2 shell plate. Dies, primer attachments, and other press components are purchased separately. You'll want to make sure you have the matching die set and the correct primer attachment for your caliber.
