In the realm of precision and efficiency, the Lock-N-Load Rifle Bullet Feeder stands as an essential tool for any serious reloader. Designed specifically to integrate seamlessly with the Lock-N-Load AP reloading press, this complete unit is tailored for 22 caliber bullets but offers flexibility through an additional conversion kit that accommodates 30 caliber bullets. This versatility enables you to handle two of the most popular calibers efficiently.
The innovative design extends its compatibility beyond just one system; it fits other presses utilizing industry-standard 7/8" - 14 die threads. For those working with various cartridge sizes, this feeder handles a broad range—from .221 Fireball up to 220 Swift in the 22 caliber kit, and from 300 Savage through to the powerful 300 Rem Ultra Mag when using the optional 30 caliber conversion kit.
When paired with Hornady's Lock-N-Load Case Feeder, expect a significant boost in your operational tempo—potentially enhancing your speed by up to fifty percent based on user experience and proficiency levels. The bullet feeding mechanism operates via case activation; thus ensuring that bullets are only fed upon contact with a case. Efficiency is further enhanced as one station manages both seating and crimping tasks simultaneously.
A crucial note for prospective users: while investing in Hornady’s new Rifle Bullet Feeder System can revolutionize your loading bench workflow, remember it must be purchased separately from their Pistol Bullet Feeder due to incompatibility between hopper systems and die bodies. Also worth noting is that cast lead bullets are not suitable for use within either Hornady Bullet Feeder setup.
