Hornady Lock-N-Load Bench Rest Powder Measure - Manual (Page 3)

Your “Bench Rest Grade LNL Powder Measure” has been nickel plated for
long life and corrosion control, however it has also been treated with a rust
preventative, which must be removed before use.
We recommend that you clean and degrease all moving parts with Hornady One
ShotGun Cleaner and Dry Lube. (Black Label)
1. Set the rotor; with the Metering Device horizontal, press the Push Button and
hold it down while removing the Metering Device.
2. Remove the Handle, from the Powder Measure, by removing the two attaching
screws with a 1/8” hex wrench.
3. Slide the Rotor out of the Housing by pressing gently on the handle side of the
Rotor.
4.Be careful not to drop or otherwise damage the Rotor while it is out of the Body.
5. Turn the Micrometer thimble in the full forward position “0” to extend the
rod and head from the Sleeve. (It should not be necessary to disassemble the
Micrometer unit.) Spray all metal parts liberally with Hornady One Shot-Gun
Cleaner and Dry Lube. Be sure all rust preventative is removed.
6. Allow it to dry thoroughly before reassembling it.
Reverse the procedure in steps 1-4.
The Rotor and Housing are very closely fit and must be properly
aligned to reassemble.
DO NOT FORCE IT, OR IRREPAIRABLE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
1. Attach the Mounting Bracket to your bench using (two) #14 Binding
Head Sheet Metal Screws or other suitable hardware. The screws should be
approximately ½” back from the edge of the bench, and the smaller of the two
large holes should be suspended off the bench.
2. Place the Powder Measure in the hole of the Mounting Plate; and thread the
Lock Nut onto the Powder Measure and lock in place with the 3/32’’ hex wrench
if desired.
3. Select the appropriate Drop Tube (the small for .20 through .25 caliber,
the large for 6.5mm and larger), and screw it into the bottom of the Powder
Measure until it is secure against the internal shoulder. (Finger tight is all that is
required.)
1. To remove the metering device, always be sure to drop any charge first.
Then, with the handle and the metering device horizontal, depress the button
and remove the unit. If you allow the handle to drop, you will empty the hopper.
2. Always be sure that your Micrometer Metering device is locked in place
before operating.
3. Always verify your charges with a scale before loading.
4. Any moisture in the unit will cause powder to stick, and charge weights will
vary drastically.
