The Hornady Lock-N-Load Powder Measure is the kind of tool that earns its spot on the bench by doing the work of several. Paired with the right rotor and metering insert, it covers an enormous span of charges, from 0.5 grain all the way up to 265 grains. That means one unit can handle small pistol cartridges one session and large magnum rifle loads the next, without you buying a separate measure for each job.
What really sets it apart is the quick-change system that gives it the name. Swapping metering inserts is as simple as pressing the Lock-N-Load release button, pulling the old insert, and dropping in another. Once you've dialed in a charge, you tighten the lock ring to hold the setting, so your inserts stay ready to go for repeat loads down the road. This measure ships with the rifle rotor and standard metering insert installed. If you plan to work with small pistol charges, the pistol rotor and inserts are sold separately.
Hornady built this one with only 0.002 inches of clearance between the drum and rotor, which they call the tightest in the industry for a standard measure. That snug fit cuts down on powder binding between the frame and drum, so you get smooth operation and clean cutoffs whether you're metering fine ball powder or long extruded sticks. Reloaders moving up from a trickler setup tend to notice the difference right away in both speed and charge-to-charge repeatability.
You've got options for setting it up. Use a standard mounting bracket and lock ring on your bench, or use Hornady's Lock-N-Load bushings to run it on the Fast Load Powder Measure Stand or the Lock-N-Load AP for case-activated powder dropping. The measure comes with small and large drop tubes that speed up powder flow and cover .204 through .45 caliber cases. Just use the largest tube that fits your case mouth, and reach for the optional 17 caliber tube if you're loading the little stuff.
No. This unit ships with the rifle rotor and standard metering insert installed. If you want to meter smaller pistol charges, the pistol rotor and inserts are sold separately and swap in using the same push-button system.
The Lock-N-Load covers 0.5 grain up to 265 grains, but you'll need the correct rotor and metering insert for the extremes of that range. The included rifle rotor and standard insert handle a broad span of common rifle loads right out of the box.
Yes. The tight 0.002 inch clearance between the drum and rotor helps prevent powder binding, so it runs smoothly with both fine ball powders and longer extruded stick powders. That snug tolerance is a big part of why it meters so consistently.
It features standard 7/8-14 threads and includes a mounting plate, so you can set it up with a standard bracket and lock ring. You can also use Hornady's Lock-N-Load bushings to run it on the Fast Load Powder Measure Stand or the Lock-N-Load AP for case-activated powder dropping.
