45acp shell plate for Hornady L&L progressive? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Can anyone tell me what number shell plate is for the 45acp? I've searched midwayusa.com and can't find it. I've found all others I'm looking for except this one.

Thanks!

One of these two, not sure which one:

I think it's the first one (#45, item #392645)

You want the #1 shell plate. It is the same shell plate as the .308 Winchester.

Here is the link for a list of complete Shell Plate info:

Actually, there's a new also ashellplate #45 that's specifically for 45acp. Do NOT get the 45 Auto RIM!
A few recent customers have been complaining to Hornady that every 100rds or so the #1 shellplate is 'tilting' the casings & ruining them on dies, so they made a tighter tolerance #45 for this purpose. If you call Hornady or Graf's they'll urge you to go with the #45, but essentially both work fine.
