The press features include; Lock-N-Load quick change technology, fully automatic indexing, 5-station die platform that accepts standard 7/8″-14 threaded dies, and the EZ-ject System that delivers 100% reliable cartridge ejection. This press is capable of loading rifle and handgun cartridges with ease.
Wondering what extra parts to purchase? Well, the press comes complete with the following items:
- Lock-N-Load powder measure
- rifle and pistol metering assemblies
- case activated powder drop and linkage
- cartridge catcher
- large and small primer pick-up tubes
- 5 Lock-N-Load Bushings
- So the only thing left to purchase is the easy access shellplate, dies, and any additional bushings you’ll need for additional calibers. (all available at MidwayUSA).
Notes:
- The EZ-ject system is designed to work with updated shellplates. Earlier version shellplates are not adaptable with the EZ-ject system. To tell if shellplates need to be updated, turn the shellplate upside down and look for a groove that runs in a circular pattern around the shellplate. If there is no groove present Hornady will modify old shellplates to work with the EZ-ject system.
- Hornady Suggests Spraying all metal parts with Hornady One Shot Gun Cleaner-Degreaser and Dry Lubricant before using the press (Sold Separately Item# 270-323)
