Description

Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Progressive Reloading Press

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Progressive Reloading Press is a fully automatic, five-station system built to deliver smooth, high-output performance with unparalleled speed and adaptability. At the core of its design is Hornady’s patented Lock-N-Load bushing system, which allows reloaders to swap dies—whether it’s powder dies, bullet seaters, or crimp dies—individually or collectively with a single twist. This die-swapping capability eliminates the need to remove the entire tool head, making caliber changes quick and effortless across multiple applications.

Designed for efficiency, the Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Progressive Reloading Press includes a full-size Lock-N-Load Powder Measure capable of metering charges for everything from handgun cartridges to magnum rifle loads. Quick-change metering inserts allow powder swaps with the push of a button, adding speed and convenience to your reloading setup. The system also features a case-activated powder drop, ensuring powder is dispensed only when a cartridge case is present, reducing spillage and waste.

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Progressive Reloading Press includes key enhancements such as an automatic indexing system, which advances the shell plate half a stage on both the upstroke and downstroke for smoother operation. The EZject system delivers reliable cartridge ejection at every station without any adjustments, while the universal case retainer spring enables cases to be inserted or removed at any point during the reloading cycle—ideal for both troubleshooting and production flexibility.

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Progressive Reloading Press also includes a cartridge catcher, extra bushings, and a priming system that easily transitions between small and large primers. Changing primer sizes is as simple as replacing the primer seater punch, shuttle, and feed tube. Dies and shell plates are not included and must be purchased separately, allowing users to fully customize the press to their preferred calibers and load types.
