The Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Progressive (AP) Press (Hornady part no. 095100) is an automatic, five-station press built to speed up serious handloading volume. The Lock-N-Load bushing system lets a handloader switch powder dies, check dies, bullet seaters, or crimp dies without changing the whole die head, so changing one die or the entire lineup takes one quick twist instead of a full re-setup. Automatic indexing rotates the shell plate between stations as the handle is cycled, while the Lock-N-Load powder measure, priming system, case-activated powder drop, universal ejector, case retainer, and large cartridge catcher round out a press built for handloaders producing serious quantities of ammunition.
