I'm not sure if there are others making the aftermarket shell plates now (I got mines over 4 years ago), but the one I purchased was from a maker advertising the upgrade on YouTube ( https://youtu.be/9BpFD7NbvL8). His contact information is in the description. |
Thank you. It looks like the shell plate is heavier and made of stronger material than the original as well. I did have to replace the shell holder once before as it bent, like the fellow described, so the aftermarket one should be a great improvement to a great press that has worked flawlessly otherwise.
