Shell plate madness Hornady LnL #6,#8,#45
Because of the feeding frenzy, these shell plates are unobtanium! I am a mechanical engineer with a machine shop and CNC equipment, so I want to reverse engineer the shell plates for common pistol calibers (45acp, 9mm, 380, 10mm) and reproduce them on my equipment. The only problem is that I only have the #45 shell plate to gather dimensions from. If someone here could make measurements of their #6, #8, and #10 shell plates for the Hornady Lock N Load AP EZ ject press, I will reproduce them! I primarily need the dimensions for the case head pockets. The new plates will be made from 303 stainless steel so that they will not require plating.

Re: Shell plate madness Hornady LnL #6,#8,#45
The #45 shell plates are complete, and I will have the #8 shell plates done in about a week. For anyone interrested, the final price is $66 each + $5.80 shipping (USPS small flat rate box). I will combine shipping for more than one shell plate. I used 4140 steel for these, and they are hardened. The 303 stainless was too soft.

Re: Shell plate madness Hornady LnL #6,#8,#45
As awesome as it is to have someone making these things with them being so hard to obtain, I would be very careful in doing this. IANAL, but there may be something with a trademark or patent issue with you making and selling them. I'd hate to see you get a suit filed against you by Hornady for making their plates and selling them without their permission. On the other hand, if you already have their permission, awesome!
