Description
If you run a Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro or Pro 4000 progressive press, the #19 shell plate is the piece that makes loading your favorite pistol rounds happen. It positions each case at the right station and rotates it through sizing, charging, seating, and crimping so you can keep a steady rhythm on the handle. This is the same #19 plate that covers some of the most popular semi-auto cartridges out there, which makes it a workhorse for anyone loading in volume.
What the #19 Shell Plate Feeds
This plate is cut to accept 40 S&W, 10mm Auto, 9mm Luger, 38 Super, 38 Auto, and 41 AE. That rim diameter family covers a huge chunk of what people are cranking out on a progressive, so one plate earns its keep across several of your dies. Keep in mind that 9mm, 40 S&W, and 38 Super run small primers while 10mm Auto uses large primers, so you may need to match your primer setup to the round you're loading.
Fit and Build on the Auto Breech Lock Pro
The Auto Breech Lock Pro and Pro 4000 use shell plates made specifically for those presses, and they won't accept plates from other Lee machines, so the #19 is the correct part to grab. It's machined from steel for durability and holds its indexing over long sessions. Swapping calibers is as simple as pulling the old plate, dropping in the right one, and matching your dies.
Changing Calibers Without the Headache
Having the right shell plate on hand is what turns a caliber change from a project into a five-minute job. Pair the #19 with the matching Lee die set for whatever you're loading and you're set to run 9mm one day and 40 S&W the next. For reloaders who shoot a mix of those common pistol calibers, it's one of the handier plates to own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which cartridges does the Lee #19 shell plate work with?
The #19 plate is cut for 40 S&W, 10mm Auto, 9mm Luger, 38 Super, 38 Auto, and 41 AE. These share a common rim family, which is why one plate covers so many popular pistol rounds. Match it with the correct Lee die set for whatever you're loading.
Will this shell plate fit my other Lee presses?
No. The Auto Breech Lock Pro and Pro 4000 use shell plates made specifically for those presses, and the press won't accept plates from other Lee machines like the Pro 1000 or Load Master. The #19 here (part 90944) is the right one for the Auto Breech Lock Pro and Pro 4000.
Do I need anything else to change calibers with the #19 plate?
You'll want the matching Lee die set for the cartridge you're loading, plus the correct primer setup. Keep in mind 9mm, 40 S&W, and 38 Super use small primers while 10mm Auto uses large primers, so your primer feed needs to match the round.
What is the Lee #19 shell plate made of?
It's machined from steel, so it holds up to long loading sessions and keeps your cases indexed accurately through every station. Steel construction is part of why these plates run reliably over high round counts.
