The Hornady Lock-N-Load auto-progressive reloading press produces ammo in large quantities. The myriad features of the five-station press allows for faster and more precise adjustments and caliber changes. The Lock-N-Load quick change die bushing system allows for extremely quick caliber changes, requiring adjustment only when first installed into the bushing. A simple 1/8 turn will free the bushing and allow you to swap to a new die in seconds. The Lock-N-Load powder measure also features a quick change ability, allowing you to swap preset charge weights with the simple push of a button to remove the metering instert, and replace it with a new one, already calibrated for the new charge weight.

Quick Change Lock-N-Load Bushing Systems: The Lock-N-Load AP has a 5 station quick change bushing system, which allows the Lock-N-Load AP to be changed very quickly; from 223 to 45 in less than 5 minutes. Compare that to any other popular progressive presses on the market.
Universal Case Retainer Spring: The Lock-N-Load AP has an ingenious case retainer spring that allows you to quickly and easily remove and replace a case at any point in the loading process AND they are universal. Compare that to "other" progressives... they are not so progressive.
Automatic Indexing: Each station moves 1/2 a stage on the upstroke and 1/2 a stage on the down stroke and the up stroke, making for ultra-smooth function. This process is much smoother than presses that do all their indexing on the down stroke.
