Reloads both pistol and rifle cartridges except .50 Cal BMGS . Everything seems to be top of the line. Looks great and easy to use if you follow the directions. My wife purchased this kit for my Christmas gift. Just be sure to locate the powder and primers after getting a few loading manuals. Sever...al are needed unless you will only shoot Hornady bullets. The Hornady manual, I think is set up the best in explaining and in lay-out. Just read it TWICE to take it all in. This is probably the best kit for the price.have read Hornady's service is the best you can find, with many saying that during set up or operation that they "accidentally" broke this,that, or the other. And Hornady's great service surprised them as they received a free replacement even though they broke it, not a factory defect. I did NOT have that experience. Got a case stuck( please get a stuck case remover, you will need it eventually) and while attempting to unstick the third case( all my fault) I actually broke the press handle where it threads into the press body. Called Hornady and was walked through the steps and determined it was my error by not letting the spray resizing lube to dry on the case before the actual resizing. Then, was transferred to a lady, who the tech said would "take care of me" asked if my address was correct, and that they would send me a replacement for X amount of dollars. Now, maybe I expected too much, as it was my fault, but just a piece of half inch threaded steel bar could have been sent out to please a customer , which I had also purchased a set of 7mm and a set of .357 Sig dies too? Loyalty evidently isn't worth the free handle to them. Although I feel it is better than all the other brands, I will look for other brands to finish up my supplies, like the caliper, the primer pocket cleaner, and case cleaner, etc.
No components are available to use it. So i now Have an expensive boat anchor

I needed a single stage to go with the hornady lock AND load AP for small runs and an extra powder measure never hurts same as the digital scale and other pieces

It's a great starter kit but you will need to buy additional items. However it loads very well and is very user friendly. #sweepstakes

Precision and ease make the Classic Press a winner. A single stage press is perfect for both beginners and those who want complete control over the entire process. The Lock-N-Load Classic delivers both dependability and precision with its uniquely angled, solid cast frame that offers greater visibility and easier access to the cartridge. Designed to assure perfect die and shell holder alignment, its Lock-N-Load quick change bushing system also makes the process quick and easy. LOCK-N-LOAD® QUICK CHANGE BUSHING SYSTEM Lock-N-Load® bushings not only let you switch from one die to another in a matter of seconds, they also offer the quickest and easiest die setup on the market. Just set the die and tighten the Sure-Loc™ ring on to the Lock-N-Load® bushing. Quickly remove and re-install without the need to readjust the die or keep a separate seater die for each of your pet loads. POWER-PAC LINKAGE AND SOLID STEEL ARMS Arms rotate on steel pins that run completely through the cast frame. The Power-Pac linkage design multiplies the leverage you apply to the handle, making it easier to size cases and reduces user fatigue. POSITIVE PRIMING SYSTEM™ (PPS) Once the spent primer ejects at the top of the stroke, you can add a new primer to the PPS and it self-aligns to feed and insert the primer at the bottom of the stroke where leverage is best. Our self-aligning primer arm also allows for easy manual inserting of primers without having to raise the handle. All the work is done at the bottom of the stroke. Works easier than ram prime units and much better than old style primer arms. Small and large punch included. STRONG ANGLED FRAME This high strength alloy frame offers the rigidity and stability needed for precision reloading, and is guaranteed never to break or fail. The frame's unique angle gives the reloader greater visibility and easier access to the cartridge in the press. EASY GRIP HANDLE Large, ball-style grip reduces fatigue. The long handle increases leverage and reduces effort. Perfect for the reloading novice, this kit offers everything you need to get started. (Reloading dies and shell holders sold separately.)
