Your Lock-N-Load® Quick Trickle™ has been
treated with a rust preventative that must be
removed before use. Hornady One Shot® Gun
Cleaner and Dry Lube is recommended to treat
all parts before use to ensure easy and proper
function of the Quick Trickle.™
To Degrease:
Liberally spray One Shot® Gun Cleaner and Dry
lube to the inside of the Casting Body (#3) of
the Quick Trickle™ through the Powder Hopper
Tube (#2) and through the Powder Trickle
Tube (#11). Applying Hornady One Shot® Gun
Cleaner and Dry lube to all metal parts will
remove all rust preventatives or oils that may
remain on the Quick Trickle causing powder to
stick or ball up. Be careful not to allow spray
on the hopper tube.
assemble anD aDjusT:
The Lock-N-Load® Quick Trickle™ features the
Hornady Lock-N-Load® bushing system to
secure the Quick Trickle™ to the base (#13).
1. Insert the male bushing (#10)of the Quick
Trickle™ into the female bushing (#12)of
the base (#13)and turn clockwise to lock in
place.
2. Once the Quick Trickle™ is properly mounted
to the base (#13) loosen the Hornady
Sure-Loc™ Lock Ring (#9) to adjust the
threaded stem to the desired height. Height
adjustment is made by threading in to lower
and out to raise.

When the desired height has been achieved
the Hornady Sure-Loc™ Lock Ring (#9)
should be threaded down snug to the top of
the bushing and tightened.
operaTion:
1. When the stand is properly mounted
and the proper height has been achieved
powder can be added to the hopper by
removing the Hopper Cap (#1) and pouring
the powder into the hopper.
2. Lock-N-Load® Quick Trickle™ utilizes two
powder dispense knobs to provide the user
a fast and slow (precise) powder dispense
speeds. The larger upper knob (#6) will
dispense powder quickly when turned
clockwise following the reference arrow
located on the gear body of the knob.
3. Once the powder charge begins to approach
the final amount the smaller dispense knob
(#8) below the speed knob can be turned
counter clockwise to attain a tenth of grain
accuracy.
4. To remove powder from the Quick Trickle,™
unlock the Quick Trickle™ from the Base
(#13) by turning counter clockwise to
disengage the bushing. Once removed
from the base the Hopper Cap (#1) can
be removed and the powder poured back
into the desired container. Keep the Quick
Trickle™ Tube (#11) in an upright position
when pouring the powder from the hopper
to prevent the remaining powder in the
Quick Trickle™ Tube (#11) from spilling.

precauTions:
1. Ensure the Quick Trickle™ is properly
mounted to the base before operating.
2. Any moisture in the hopper, body, or tube
will cause powder to stick or ball up.
3. Adjust the height of the Quick Trickle™ close
to the scale pan to prevent powder from
bouncing out during use.
4. Do not store powder in the Quick Trickle™
as this may cause the tube to become
deformed or discolored.
