The Hornady Lock-N-Load Powder Measure is a quick-change volumetric powder measure: by swapping rotors and metering inserts, a single tool covers charges from 0.5 to 265 grains, from small pistol cartridges to magnum rifle calibers. This is the B-Stock version of item 050069.
The Lock-N-Load insert system releases with the push of a button, making changes in charge or configuration take only seconds, with settings remaining saved on the insert. The clearance between the drum and rotor is only 0.002", which Hornady claims is the tightest in the industry, ensuring consistent metering. An adjustable-tension O-ring allows you to calibrate the operating smoothness, and the measure can be mounted in various ways.
