HOW LOCK-N-LOAD® WORKS The Lock-N-Load® Reloading System is Hornady’s unique bushing system that lets you change dies with a simple flick of the wrist. With Lock-N-Load® technology in your reloading press, you can stop loading, change dies, and start loading another caliber in SECONDS. If you load more than one caliber, Lock-N-Load® will dramatically speed up your reloading efforts. This unique technology is featured on our Lock-N-Load® Classic™ and Lock-N-Load® AP™ (Auto Progressive) reloading presses.
