Grand Island, NE (July 17, 2025) – The Hornady® Lock-N-Load® AP™ makes it easier than ever for shooters to spend less time at the bench and more time at the range or in the field. Built with advanced ergonomics and reloading efficiencies, Hornady continues to lead the way in reloading technology, accuracy, and dependability.
This professional-grade, five-station reloading press can load up to 500 rounds per hour and delivers smooth, responsive operation. Its rugged construction and ample power set the Lock-N-Load AP apart from the competition.
Understanding that bench space is crucial, Hornady designed the Lock-N-Load AP with efficiency in mind. Its automatic indexing and patented five‑station quick change bushing system allow reloaders to switch calibers– from .223 to .45– in less than 5 minutes. Dies lock securely in place with a twist and six locking lugs, making caliber changes fast and repeatable.
The Power‑Pac Linkage System multiplies leverage applied to the handle, giving reloaders smooth, powerful operation with less effort. Experienced reloaders will feel the difference when they use the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP.
The Lock‑N‑Load® Powder Measurer adds another layer of convenience with quick change metering inserts that swap powders at the push of a button. Add one to each die set for maximum efficiency. Combined with automatic indexing, priming, and ejection, every pull of the handle produces a precisely loaded round.
Switching from large to small primers is fast and easy with a simple three-step process: change the primer seater punch, swap the primer shuttle, and replace the feed tube. Integrated quick change systems ensure fast caliber swaps, making transitions between loads simple and effortless.
Finished cartridges reliably eject with every stroke via the EZJECT™ System. If adjustments are needed mid-process, the universal case retainer spring provides fast, easy access to any case at any stage.
At Hornady®, heritage and vision are the same, encompassing quality, innovation, responsiveness, and continuous improvement.
