I think you need to define what press??
The ones for Dillon won't fit RCBS, Lyman, etc. and vice versa.
Tell us what you need and maybe someone can point you in a proper direction.

I guess I picked up on the "shell plates" and ignored the dies part of the question.
Dies . . . there is one dealer (is it Zenk?) that always has a table full of dies at each gun show. Don't know of any MA dealers that really specialize in reloading supplies, perhaps someone else does? Brownells and Midway are good sources for dies . . . especially if you have a C&R FFL and get the dealer pricing.
But shell plates are specific to the brand and model of press.

all the die manufacturers use the same thread for their dies 7/8x14 the only exception is the Square Deal by Dillon.
Shell plates are brand specific. KTP is the closest place that would have dies RCBS,Lee and Lyman some Dillon but not Redding Saeco. Otherwise the Internet is your best bet

I remember seeing quite a bit of reloading supplies at the Middleboro Gun Shop in Middleboro. I don't know exactly what he stocks but it may be worth a call.
Since Hornady's web site listings for their products leave me a little confused. I was thinking that it might be easier to just go pick up what I needed for my new Hornady L-N-L AP press. But it seems that Hornady products are hard to find in Ma. stores.
Middleboro carrys RCBS and Dillon reloading equipment. KTP is a option and I thank you for the offer to pick up stuff for me but I'm in no hurry.
I might be better off buying the shelll plates directly from Hornady and might as buy these dies at the same time .45acp, 38/357. 41mag and 32-20.
So I m just going to call Hornady's customer service and tell them what I want and let them figure it out.

Get your C&R liscense and send it to them, and you'll save quite a bit. My LnL cost me $304 from Midway with my C&R. They have all the Hornady stuff you'll need, and I get my order 3 days after I place it.
