Features

EZject System
The EZject system delivers 100% reliable ejection of every cartridge, every time, without any adjustments.

Priming System
The Lock-N-Load AP can be changed from large to small primers as easy as 1-2-3.

• Change the primer seater punch.
• Change the primer shuttle.
• Change the primer feed tube.

Case Activated Powder Drop
Case activated powder drop will dispense a powder charge ONLY when there is a cartridge case present. No more messes.

Quick Change Metering Inserts
The Lock-N-Load powder measure uses quick-change metering inserts that allow you to switch from one powder to another with the push of a button. Add one to each dieset for the ULTIMATE quick change-over.

Quick Change Lock-N-Load® Bushing Systems
The Lock-N-Load AP has a 5 station quick change bushing system, which allows the Lock-N-Load AP to be changed very quickly; from 223 to 45 in less than 5 minutes.

Universal Case Retainer Spring
The Lock-N-Load AP has an ingenious case retainer spring that allows you to quickly and easily remove and replace a case at any point in the loading process AND they are universal.

Automatic Indexing
Each station moves 1/2 a stage on the upstroke and 1/2 a stage on the down stroke making for ultra-smooth function. This process is much smoother than presses that do all their indexing on the down stroke.

Large Capacity Hopper
A large capacity hopper comes standard with the Lock-N-Load AP Press. An extra large capacity hopper is available as an option.
