DESCRIPTION

Lock-N-Load AP Loader Auto Progressive Press
by HORNADY


Product Overview

With a single pull of the handle, you’ll feel the difference between this high-performance machine and ordinary reloading presses. You’ll feel the smooth responsiveness, the rugged construction, and most of all, the power! The Power-Pac Linkage System literally multiplies and accelerates the leverage you apply to the handle. Becase the AP Loader features automatic indexing, priming, and ejection, every pull of the handle give you a precisely loaded round. The AP Loader has a 5-station quick change bushing system that allows quick and easy change overs from 223 Remington to 45 ACP in less than 5 minutes.

The Lock-N-Load powder measure uses quick change metering inserts that allow you to switch from one powder to another with the push of a button and the case activated powder drop will dispense a powder charge only when a cartridge case is present.. Add a metering insert to each die set for the ultimate in quick change overs. Hornady's EZject feature delivers 100% reliable ejection of every cartridge, every time, without any adjustments and the ingenious case retainer spring allows you to quickly and easily remove or insert a case at any point in the loading process.

Auto Progressive means the AP Loader will automatically index to the next station. Each station moves half a stage on the down stroke and half on the up stroke, making for ultra smooth functioning. This process is much smoother than presses that do all their indexing on the down stroke.

Specifications and Features:

  • 5 Stations
  • Automatic Indexing
  • Reliable EZject System
  • Large Capacity Lock-N-Load Powder Measure
  • Rifle and Pistol Quick Change Metering Inserts
  • Case Activated Powder Drop and Linkage
  • Quick Change Priming System
  • Quick Change Bushing System, to include 5 die bushings


DIES and SHELL PLATES sold separately.

LnL progressive press 5 yrs of ownership

After 5 years of reloading 300-400 rnds a week this press is going strong. It needs periodic cleaning and lubrication to function properly. I had an issue with primers flipping occasionally.

The jury is still out on this press

Switched from an RCBS single press after two years of giving me enough experience in reloading. I love the concept of this press, but unfortunately after reading the various reviews, I too am having problems with the primer feeder. It's not consistent enough for me to feel comfortable with out dou...

I had the lee progressive, and loved it, but the plastic parts broke too many times. So I got THIS press, and it is leagues ahead of the lee. It feels like UFO technology. It took me a little time to get used to it, and get it adjusted, but now I'm cranking out rounds like mad. I love this thing! #sweepstakes
