Shellplate releases cases at the first die
Quote from Reloader on May 12, 2017, 1:27 pmThe brass that you have, the ones marked with "18" are probably 9mm Makarov, and the ones marked with a "17", are 380 ACP. The Makarov will fit better in the shell plate, but the 380's will be noticeably smaller at the base and be able to be removed from the shell plate. I'd toss all the ones that don't either say 9mm luger or 9X19.

@Steve Chaves, I received the new shell plate and it seems that is a much better quality. Also the shape of the place to put the shell looks differed. I looks and feels much more solid. So far everything goes well. Thank you for the great service.
