HOW LOCK-N-LOAD ® WORKS
The Lock-N-Load ® Reloading System is Hornady’s unique bushing system that lets you
change dies with a simple flick of the wrist. With Lock-N-Load ® technology in your
reloading press, you can stop loading, change dies, and start loading another caliber
in SECONDS. If you load more than one caliber, Lock-N-Load
® will dramatically speed
up your reloading efforts.
This unique technology is featured on our Lock-N-Load
® Classic ™ and
Lock-N-Load ® AP ™ (Auto Progressive) reloading presses.
The Hornady Lock-N-Load ® system is as easy as 1-2-3:
01 Insert the Lock-N-Load ® die bushing into the press bushing and lock it into
place with a twist. The six locking lugs on the die and press bushings will hold it
securely in position.
02 Insert your standard die into the Lock-N-Load ® Bushing.
03 Adjust the die to the proper position and lock your setting into place with
Hornady’s unique Sure-Loc ® lock ring.
To change calibers, simply twist the die counterclockwise, remove die and insert
your next preset Lock-N-Load
® die and bushing. Because they remain locked in
their Lock-N-Load ® Bushings, your dies will remain exactly as you set them. The
positive locking action of the Lock-N-Load ® Bushings holds the dies in rock solid,
perfect alignment. Once you try Lock-N-Load ® from Hornady, you’ll NEVER want
to go back to your old system.
SIX LOCKING LUGS
The combination of the six lugs and the close tolerance of the tooling firmly
grip the die bushing in place in the press for maximum rigidity and accuracy in
reloading.
RUBBER O-RING ON DIE BUSHING
The O-ring on our die bushings gives you a better feel when the die is inserted
and holds the die tight against the locking lugs to prevent accidental loosening.
