There are a lot of do-it-yourselfers here so I'd thought I'd ask this question.
Quite a few years ago my lovely wife bought me a Lee Loadmaster press with a kit to load all of my service calibers. Up till then I did all of my loading on a single stage press. Each kit came with a set of 3 pc dies and a shell plate.
That was the long way of saying that I have 2 shell plates for 9mm and .40 S&W. (19S shell plate)
I have recently purchased a 10mm and had the assumption that I had all I needed to start loading for it. Well, I don't. I need a 19L shell plate so it will accommodate the LPP, and as luck would have it, that plate is no longer in production.
Beings that I am a tinkerer I'm wondering if anyone has modified the 19S shell plate to accommodate the LPP? If so, how did you go about doing so? I attempted to take a rat tail file to my spare, but it just rounded the teeth of the file. Apparently, the shell plate is made of pretty hard steel
