The Hornady Lock-N-Load Powder Measure Drain Insert (Hornady part no. 50125) is a steel replacement part from Hornady that swaps in for the standard metering insert on a Lock-N-Load Powder Measure. Instead of tipping the whole measure over or scooping powder out by hand to change charges or clear the hopper, this insert opens a clean path straight out the bottom. It’s built from steel for long-term durability on a part that gets handled every time you switch loads or shut down for the day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this replace my whole powder measure? No — it’s a small insert that swaps in for the standard metering insert, not a replacement for the powder measure itself.

Why would I need this instead of just emptying the hopper by hand? It gives you a clean, direct drain path out the bottom, so clearing the hopper or switching charges doesn’t mean scooping powder out by hand.
