Assembly of lock-n-load, Case activated powder drop, Assembl y – Hornady Lock-N-Load AP User Manual
Page 12

The Case Activated Powder Drop helps make reloading faster 
and easier than ever before. It automatically activates and 
dispenses a charge with every pull of the handle, but only 
when a case is present in the station. Plus, it works with 
Lock-N-Load
®
bushings. (You can remove and change
Hornady powder measures with a quick turn, without 
changing adjustments.) The Case Activated Powder Drop 
unit can be used ONLY on the Hornady Lock-N-Load
®
Powder
Measure.
The Lock-N-Load
®
Powder Measure comes with the Standard
Rotor & Standard Metering Insert installed, with the Pistol 
Rotor & Pistol Metering Insert packaged separately.
Your Lock-N-Load
®
Powder Measure has been treated with
a rust preventative that must be removed prior to use. We 
recommend that you clean and degrease all metal parts with 
Hornady One Shot Cleaner and Dry Lube.
To Disassemble for Cleaning:
Slide the Rotor out of the Body by pressing gently on the 
handle side of the Rotor.
NOTE: Be careful not to drop or otherwise damage the Rotor 
while it is out of the Body.
Unscrew the Drop Tube (15) from the bottom of the 
Powder Measure.
Remove the Handle, or Rotating Arm from the Powder 
Measure, by removing the two attaching screws with a 1/8" 
hex wrench.
Set the Rotor with the Metering Unit perpendicular to the axis 
of the Body, press the Push Button and hold it down while 
removing the Metering Unit. 
NOTE: Do NOT remove push button. It is permanently installed 
and does not need cleaning.
