Lock-N-Load® AP™ Reloading Press

OVERVIEW

Your new Lock-N-Load® Auto Progressive (AP) Reloading Press has been packaged to insure minimal vibration and damage during transportation.

ASSEMBLY

Remove all the parts from the packing box (see page 2) and spread them out over a large flat surface. Refer to the Lock-N-Load® AP™ Reloading
Press parts list and exploded view on the previous pages and check to make sure all necessary parts are identified.

The manual provides step-by-step instructions and suggestions that make set-up and operation easy and understandable.

If at any time during operation you feel like you are forcing the press, stop and identify the problem. Do not force anything, or damage could occur.
Powders and primers are explosive if handled carelessly! Always work slowly and carefully without distractions and wear eye protection. Try to
avoid touching primers with oily fingers. The oil on your fingers may contaminate the primers and cause them to misfire.

Tools needed for assembly and set-up:

• 7⁄16" End Wrench

• (2) 1⁄2" End Wrenches

• 15⁄16" End Wrench

• 3⁄32" Hex Wrench (included)

• 1/8" Hex Wrench (included)

• 5⁄32" Hex Wrench

• Needle Nose Pliers

• Electric Drill

• 5/16" Hex Wrench

Hand loading is very safe, but before reloading any
case please read the following warnings.

• Primers may explode if subjected to impact or heat.

• Keep away from the opening end of the Primer Tube at
all times.

• Variations may occur with different brands and condition of
cartridge cases, which can cause inconsistent primer and bullet
seating. Sort and inspect all of your cases before reloading.

• Verify your powder charges at frequent intervals to
insure consistency.

• Careless or improper hand loading techniques can result in
serious personal injury. Make sure there are no distractions while
you are reloading.

• Before operating this press, be sure you have read and
understand all the instructions contained in this manual, and
that you understand the principals of hand loading.

ASSEMBLY: AP PRESS

Mounting the Lock-N-Load®
Auto Progressive

Your work area should be well lit and have plenty of room for

1

your reloading accessories. Your Hornady Lock-N-Load® AP™
should be mounted securely 2 1/4" from the edge of a solid level
bench and 3.75" apart and at least 16" from the nearest wall.

Use the template found on the last page and a hole punch to
help locate each hole. (Check for obstructions on or below the

bench before you drill any holes.)

Place cartridge catcher bracket under press, line up holes in press

2

with holes in bracket.Insert and firmly tighten both bolts.

Mount the press using two 5/16" bolts that are long enough to
secure the press to the bench with plenty of clearance for the
nuts. (Due to variation of benches, these bolts are not provided.)
We also recommend using 5/16" flat washers top and bottom, in
addition to lock washers on the bottom side.

Precautions for the
Powder Measure:

• Always change the metering units with
the handle and the metering unit in the
horizontal position, and after you have
dropped the charge. If you allow the
Handle to fall while changing units, you
will drain the Hopper.

• Be sure that you have the proper
Lock-N-Load® device locked in place,
before operating.

• Always verify your charges with a scale
before loading.

ASSEMBLY: POWDER MEASURE

Assembly of Lock-N-Load®
Case Activated Powder Drop

The Case Activated Powder Drop helps make reloading faster
and easier than ever before. It automatically activates and
dispenses a charge with every pull of the handle, but only
when a case is present in the station. Plus, it works with
Lock-N-Load® Bushings. (You can remove and change Hornady

powder measures with a quick turn, without changing
adjustments.) The Case Activated Powder Drop unit can be

used ONLY on the Hornady® Lock-N-Load® Powder Measure.

The Lock-N-Load® Powder Measure comes with the Standard
Rotor and Standard Metering Insert installed, with the Pistol
Rotor and Pistol Metering Insert packaged separately.

Your Lock-N-Load® Powder Measure has been treated with
a rust preventative that must be removed prior to use. We
recommend that you clean and degrease all metal parts with
Hornady® One Shot® Cleaner and Dry Lube.

To Disassemble for Cleaning:

OPERATION

Operation of your Lock-N-Load® Auto Progressive Press

The Hornady Lock-N-Load® AP™ utilizes a high strength aluminum alloy frame with a compound linkage system
which operates the 2" diameter cylindrical ram. The Ram houses a drive shaft that is attached to the shell plate
at the upper end and the index wheel at the lower end. The toggle contains two spring actuated pawls which
alternately engage the index wheel to advance the shell plate through the different reloading stations.

As the handle is lowered, the right Pawl contacts the Index Wheel, advancing the Shell Plate during the first
1 1/2" of upward travel of the Ram. With this upward travel, the cases become aligned with the dies at the
top of the Press. As the Shell Plate comes to the top of the press, it guides the cartridge cases into the five die
stations to perform the reloading operations except priming.

The handle is then raised to complete the stroke, lowering the Shell Plate. When the Shell Plate comes to within
1 3/4" of the bottom, the left Pawl engages the Index Wheel which advances the Shell Plate into position over the
primer to seat it into the case that was just sized and de-primed. Pushing back on the handle with
moderate force will seat the new primer into the case.

Once the dies are in place, and all stations are filled, the proper sequence for reloading is listed below.

®

• Place an empty case into station one. (Using the optional Lock-N-Load

AP™ Case Feeder, this step is

automatically done for you.)

®

• Insert bullet into the powder charged case in station four (or use the optional Lock-N-Load
Bullet Feeder)

• Lower the handle.

• Powder drops into the newly primed case at station three.

• Raise the handle and seat a new primer in the de-primed case that has now moved to station two.

• Loaded cartridge is automatically ejected at station five when handle is raised.

bolt into the Drive Hub (5).

• Tighten the bolt (1) using a 5/16" Allen wrench, only
tight enough to prevent it from coming loose.

• Stretch the Case Retainer Spring over the top of the
Shell Plate (3).

• While cycling the Press, push the Case Retainer Spring

Loading the Primer Tube

Carefully transfer the primers out of their factory package
into a Hornady Primer Turning Plate and orientate them
“shiny side up.” Then holding the Primer Filler Tube (large
of small) like a pencil bring the plastic primer pick up tip
over each primer and gently press it over the primers. The
primers will be pushed into the filler tube one on top of
another. Continue loading the primer filler tube until you
have picked up approximately 100 primers.

Make sure the cotter pin is in place; turn the Primer
Filler Tube upside down. At the top of the exposed Primer
Filler Tube, there may be several primers still held and
visible. Gently shake the tube to release the primers.

Align the Primer Filler Tube (large of small) to the Primer
Feed Tube (large of small) using the Primer Tube Support.
Remove the cotter pin from the Primer Filler Tube (large of
small) and fill the Primer Feed Tube (large of small). The
capacity of the primer tube is 100 primers.

Do not over fill the primer tube.

Insert the Primer Follower into the Primer Tube (large of
small). This will help the primers feed more reliably.

OPERATION

Preparing to Load

To begin reloading, start with a single empty cartridge case and run it through all of the loading stations. This will allow you to check your
adjustments. Refer to instructions provided with the die set for set up and proper adjustment.

Sizing a case

• Make sure the sizing die is adjusted properly, and the de-priming pin knocks out the old primer.

Seating a primer

• Check and make sure the Primer Slide picked up a primer from the Primer Tube (large or small).

• When you cycle the press and the handle comes to a stop, you will have to push the handle away from you past the stop to seat the primer.

Push until it stops but don’t force it. Seating the primer requires a firm push.

• Lower the handle of the press slowly to rotate the shell plate to start the next operation. If there is

resistance on the shell plate, the primer is improperly seated and not allowing the Shell Plate to rotate.

Drop powder in the case using the case activated powder drop

• Verify the weight on a properly calibrated scale.

Seat a bullet in the powder charged case

• Begin lowering the handle to rotate the shell plate to this station.

• Place a bullet on top of the case and lower the handle the rest of the way. (You may need to position the bullet over the case neck between

your thumb and forefinger until the bullet enters the alignment sleeve).

Station 5

• This station can be used for a Taper Crimp Die when reloading pistol cartridges that headspace off the case mouth.

* Any manufacturer’s Taper Crimp Die will work in Station 5 with the AP’s EZject™ System.

• Properly adjusted, a taper crimp die removes all case-flare from the expander die without damaging or squeezing into the bullet.

Next, lower the handle, advance the shell plate to the next station. The loaded round will rotate and contact the EZject™ System underneath the
shell plate. This EZject™ System will automatically eject the loaded round from the press. Never force the handle. Measure the case for proper
length and check it against the data in your reloading book.

Once you are satisfied with the first completed cartridge, repeat the process with another single case, advancing slowly from station to station
until you eject the finished cartridge from the press with the case ejector.

After you are comfortable, load the press with consecutive cases for reloading. Do not rush! After you advance the cases through each station,
inspect everything to insure proper function at each station. If anything looks out of place, or if you lose track of what you are doing, STOP!
Remember, it’s safer to begin slowly than it is to assume you need to reload a large number of cartridges during each session. Don’t force the
handle at any time, and be sure that all mechanical parts are properly lubed.

SAFETY NOTE: Be safe! Double check your powder loads at frequent intervals to insure the powder charge is working properly.

OPERATION: AP PRESS

Adjusting the Auto Advance Mechanism

The Auto Advance Mechanism is fully adjusted at the Hornady factory and should not require further adjustment. In the event that you feel your shell
plate is not advancing properly, check all other options listed in this manual before attempting to adjust the mechanism’s pawls.

All adjustments should be made in extremely small increments.

Through everyday use, the pawls on your press may gradually wear and may need to be adjusted to compensate for this wear. Before making
adjustments, you should understand what each pawl does.

As the operating handle is lowered and raised through a complete
cycle, each pawl in turn engages the index wheel at the bottom
of the press. The index wheel is connected through the
driveshaft to the shell plate. As each pawl engages the
index wheel it advances the shell plate either at the top or
bottom of the cycle.

The right pawl (as you face the press) advances the
shell plate as the ram travels up when the handle is
pulled down. The left pawl advances the wheel on
the down stroke of the handle and should advance
the shell plate to the detent holes in the sub-plate.
If the shell plate doesn’t advance enough on the
down stroke of the ram, only the left pawl needs
adjustment.

The right pawl is too low if the shell plate stops
short of the detent, which can be felt as you rotate
the shell plate into place by hand in a clockwise
direction (CW). If the pawl is too high, you will
feel a slight double click on the handle as the pawl
disengages and the shell plate is locked into place by
the detents.

Pawl Adjustment Screw

Left Pawl

Right Pawl

OPERATION

The same is true for the left pawl which indexes on the up
stroke of the handle (down stroke of the ram.) Likewise, if
the plate doesn’t advance far enough on the up stroke of the
ram, only the right pawl needs to be adjusted. Don’t assume
that both pawls need adjusting.

Do only one pawl at a time to keep from becoming confused.

The height of each pawl determines how far the shell plate will advance when that pawl comes in contact with the indexing wheel. To adjust the pawls,
increase the height of the chosen pawl to increase the advancement of the shell plate in that direction. Or decrease the height of the pawl to decrease
the shell plate advancement in that direction.

There is a set screw on each pawl.

• Turn the set screw clockwise (CW) to lower the pawl.

• Turn the set screw counter clockwise (CCW) to raise the pawl.

Become familiar with these pawls from the onset and see how they operate. You will then find it much easier to adjust the pawls, should you need to do
so in the future.

Refer to ASSEMBLY: AP PRESS Page 8 for instructions
on removing and installing the Shell Plate

Determine the dies needed.

The Hornady Lock-N-Load® AP™ Press is designed to use
Hornady dies as well as most other dies with a 7/8"-14 threaded
body. However, the characteristics of each die is different and
will determine the setup and capabilities of the press. For
example, using the Hornady Pistol Taper Crimp/Seating Die will
free up a station on the press so that a Powder Cop Die may be
used. Please see the various layout options below to help locate
your dies on the press.

Die Mounting Instructions

For initial die cleaning and individual die adjustment
instructions, please refer to the instruction sheet that came
with your die set.

Lock-N-Load® quick change bushing system

The Lock-N-Load® system is based on the positive locking
action of the bolt action rifle. Just like the bolt action rifle, the
locking action is incredibly strong and simple.

CHANGE-OVER

Once the dies and the powder measure are adjusted for loading,
these settings are locked in place by tightening the Lock Ring
that is provided with all Hornady dies and powder measures.

How the Lock-N-Load® works:

• Insert the Lock-N-Load® Bushing into the Press and turn it
clockwise to lock it in place.

• Adjust the die to the desired position and lock the setting in
place with the die’s lock ring.

Once Lock-N-Load® Bushings are installed, Dies and Powder Drop
can be removed from the press with a quick counterclockwise
turn. Since the Lock-N-Load® Bushing is locked in place, the dies
and the Powder Drop remain set exactly as you left them.

For added speed and convenience, Hornady® offers inexpensive
Quick Change Powder Dies for use with the Case Activated
Powder Drop.

Setup / Changeover of Powder Measure

When changing cartridges, three components on the Powder
Measure may need to be changed or verified.

• Powder type in the hopper.

• Metering Insert and/or Metering Rotor

• Powder Sleeve or PTX Expander

Emptying Powder in Hopper

NOTE: The Lock-N-Load® Powder Measure should be emptied

of all powder prior to storage. Prolonged exposure to powder
may cause the plastic tube to become cloudy, discolored, or
even brittle.

To remove powder from the Lock-N-Load® Powder Measure
hopper, either use the Hornady® Powder Measure Drain Insert
(sold separately 050125) or remove the entire Powder Measure
assembly from the press, remove the cap, and pour back into
the original powder measure container. Cycle the rotor a few
times while holding the powder measure over a container to
remove the powder from the rotor. Finally remove the Metering
Insert to inspect for any residual powder.

Changing Meter Insert and Rotor

The Lock-N-Load® Powder Measure ships with two sets of Rotors
and Standard Inserts. The Pistol Rotor and Standard Insert are
for powder charges from approximately 0.5 grains to 17 grains.
The Rifle Rotor and Standard Insert are for powder charges from
approximately 15 grains to 100 grains.

Additional inserts are available and sold separately to make
change overs and reloading quicker and easier by storing the
Metering Insert with the die set so minimal adjustments are
needed when changing cartridges.

1

To change the insert, press the button on the side of the rotor.
While pressing the button, pull and wiggle the Metering Insert

CHANGE-OVER

out of the Rotor body. To install the new Metering Insert, press
and hold the button on the side of the rotor, align the flats on
the Metering Insert with the body of the Powder Measure, and
press the insert into the Rotor. Verify the insert is fully inserted
by firmly pulling on the Metering Insert.

NOTE: If there is powder in the hopper and the Metering Insert
is on the bottom of the stroke, removing the Metering Insert will
cause powder to empty out of the Powder Measure hopper and
onto your work area.

If you are changing from a pistol cartridge to a rifle cartridge
(or vice versa), you will need to change the Rotor in the Powder
Measure.

2

To remove the Rotor, first remove the Metering Insert following
the Instructions above. Next, remove the two screws from the side
of the Rotor. Slide the Rotor out of the Powder Measure body.

Insert the correct Rotor by gently sliding it into the Powder

3

Measure body. The manufacturing tolerances are very tight on
the both the rotor and Powder Measure body, so caution should
be used to prevent causing damage to the either component.
Insert the correct Metering Insert and reattach the linkage with
the two screws.

Determining the size of the Clear Feed Tube

The base or rim diameter of the cartridge case determines
the size of the feed tube. In general, a case smaller than .43"
in diameter will use the Small Tube and Small Tube Adapter.
Cases larger than 0.43" will utilize the Large Feed Tube only.

Determining the use of the Pivot Adaptor
and/or Pivot Adapter Bushing (Rifle Cases Only)

The Pivot Adapter is used with rifle cases to help guide the taller
cases. You may also need to use the Pivot Adapter Bushing for
rifle cases with a smaller base diameter (i.e. 223 Rem.).

Determining the correct Feed Tube End

When changing the Feed Tube, the Feed Tube End will also
need to be changed. In general the Small Feed Tube End will
be used with the Small Feed Tube and the Large Feed Tube
End will be used with the Large Feed Tube. However, if you are
having trouble feeding certain cases (i.e. 40 S&W and 357 Mag)
through the Small Drop Tube, the Large Feed Tube can be used
with the Intermediate Drop Tube.

Determining the correct Drop Tube

In general, the Drop Tube helps guide the case onto the press
sub-plate. Again, a case smaller than .43" in diameter will use
the Small Drop Tube, and cases larger than 0.43" will utilize
the Large Drop Tube.

Replacing the V-Block

1

Refer to the chart and diagram on page 45 to determine the correct V-Block.

With the ram at the bottom of the stroke (idle position), set the V-Block onto
the Case Slide.

Place the #10-24 X 1/2 Cap Screw through the hole of the V-Block and screw
it into the Case Slide. Before you tighten the Cap Screw, push the V-Block
back into the Case Slide and snug the Cap Screw with your fingers.

1

V-Block

Place a case of the proper size into the shell plate and manually push the

2

Case Slide and V-Block into the case.

Loosen the Cap Screw and continue to push the Case Slide into the case.
Tighten the Cap Screw ) with a 3/16" Allen wrench.

Raise the ram until the shell plate rotates and place a case (of the proper

3

size) in front of the V-Block on the Sub-Plate. Lower the ram so the Case
Slide will advance the case into the shell plate.

Adjusting the Cam Wire

4

The Cam Wire determines the timing of the Case Feed Slide and must be
adjusted to allow the case to easily slide into the shell plate.

To adjust the Cam Wire, loosen both nuts so the wire can be moved either
up or down.

If the cases are not fully seating into the shell plate, raise the Cam Wire.

If the cases are hitting the shell plate when feeding, or the shell plate
cannot rotate, lower the Cam Wire.

Once the timing is correct, snug both nuts to the bracket and make
sure the cam is centered in the Slide. This can be adjusted manually by
rotating it a small amount around the threaded end. Tighten the nuts

CHANGE-OVER

to complete the timing process. This timing setting is adequate for all
cartridges and it should not be necessary to make future changes.

Case Feed Door Adjustments

5

The Case Feed Door is used to prevent cases from falling down the Drop
Tube mouth first.

If loading pistol cases, the Case Feed Door should be opened completely
by loosening the Button Head Screw with a 1/8" Hex Wrench. Re-tighten
screw after completely opening the Case Feed Door.

If you are loading rifle cartridges, the length and weight of your cartridge
will determine how far the door must be opened. This may take some trial
and error.

Loosen the Button Head Cap Screw and slide the Case Feed Door
Adjustment so the opening is approximately ¾ the length of the case.
This is a preliminary setting. Place a hand-full of cases into the Case Feed
Bowl, and turn on the Case Feeder

Observe to see if the cases will fall base first. If they do not, readjust
the Case Feed Bowl Door Adjustment until they do without hanging up or
getting caught. Re-tighten the Button Head Cap Screw.

At this time, place about 100 bullets into the Bullet Feed
Hopper and turn on the Switch on the bottom right corner of the
Bullet Feed Hopper.

You will want to hold the end of the Drop Tube in your hand at
this time to catch the bullets that will fall out of the tube.

At this time, make sure you have the Bullet Wipers set correctly.
If they are not, shut off the Switch and readjust the Bullet
Wipers. You may need to do this a couple of times, until you
have them set correctly and the bullets are falling base first
every time.

If the hopper plate is jumping or not rotating smoothly, your
Drop Tube Funnel is too close to the Bullet Feed Wheel Pistol.
This needs backed off until the Bullet Feed Wheel Pistol rotates
smoothly.

If the bullets are feeding correctly, tighten down the Bullet
