LOCK-N-LOAD®POWDER MEASURE
The Lock-N-Load®Powder Measure comes with the Standard Rotor and
Standard Metering Insert installed, with the Pistol Rotor and Pistol Metering
Insert packaged separately.
Your Lock-N-Load®Powder Measure has been treated with a rust
preventative that must be removed prior to use. We recommend that you clean
and degrease all metal parts with Hornady®One Shot®Gun Cleaner and Lube.

CASE ACTIVATED POWDER DROP
The Case Activated Powder Drop helps make reloading faster and easier than
ever before. It automatically activates and dispenses a charge with every pull
of the handle, but only when a case is present in the station. Plus, it works
with Lock-N-Load®bushings. (You can remove and change Hornady powder
measures with a quick turn, without changing adjustments.) The Case Activated
Powder Drop unit can be used ONLY on the Hornady Lock-N-Load®Powder
Measure.
Before using, disassemble and carefully clean the inside surfaces of the drop
tube, measure adapter and powder sleeves. Rust preventative oil was applied
at the factory to protect the parts during shipment and must be removed before
reloading. Brake cleaner works well to remove the oil.

LOCK-N-LOAD
POWDER MEASURE
To Disassemble for Cleaning:
• Set the Rotor with the Metering Unit
perpendicular to the axis of the Body,
press the Push Button and hold it down
while removing the Metering Unit (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Do NOT remove push button.
It is permanently installed and does not
need cleaning.
• Remove the Handle, or Rotating Arm
from the Powder Measure, by removing
the two attaching screws with a 1/8" hex
wrench. Unscrew the drop tube (Fig. 2).
• Slide the Rotor out of the Body by
pressing gently on the handle side
of the Rotor (Fig. 3).
Be careful not to drop or otherwise
damage the Rotor while it is out
of the Body.
• Remove the Lock Nut, O-Ring and Sleeve
from the Metering Plunger. Spray all
metal parts liberally with Hornady One
Shot Gun Cleaner and Lube. Be sure all
rust preventatives are removed (Fig. 4).
• Allow it to dry thoroughly before
reassembling.

To Re-assemble after cleaning:
Reverse the procedure described on the previous page.
The Rotor and Body are very closely fit and must be properly aligned
to reassemble.
NOTE: Make sure the rotor is inserted with the push button on the left
(assuming powder dispenser body is facing you).
DO NOT FORCE IT OR IRREPARABLE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
To Operate and Adjust:
• Attach the Mounting Bracket to your bench or shelf using two #14 Binding
Head Sheet Metal Screws or other suitable hardware. The screws should be
approximately 3/4" back from the edge of the bench, and the smaller of the
two large holes should be suspended off the bench.
• Place the Powder Measure in the hole of the Mounting Plate, thread the Lock
Ring onto the Powder Measure, tighten the Lock Ring to the Mounting Plate
and lock it in place with the 3/32" hex wrench, if desired.
• Select the appropriate Drop Tube (the smaller for 20 and 25 caliber, the larger
for 6.5 mm and up) and thread it into the bottom of the Powder Measure until
it is secure against the internal shoulder. Finger tight is all that is required.
• The Lock Nut and O-ring on the Metering Unit may be adjusted to provide
tension on the thread of the Plunger, so as to allow setting it while not
allowing unintentional movement in operation. It may be locked in place by
tightening when adjustment is achieved.
One revolution of the plunger is .05" travel. With the plunger all the way in, or
the capacity set to near zero, the end of the thread and the outer surface of
the Lock Nut should be approximately flush.
With the plunger all the way out (roughly 20 turns, 1"), the maximum capacity
is approximately 100 grains or 5 grains per turn.
• Once your Metering Unit is set, lock it, label it and store it with the die set to
achieve a quick return to the present setting for future loading sessions.

LOCK-N-LOAD POWDER MEASURE PRECAUTIONS:
• Always change the metering units with the handle and the metering
unit in the horizontal position, and after you have dropped the charge.
If you allow the Handle to fall while changing units, you will drain
the Hopper.
• Be sure you have the proper Lock-N-Load device locked in place,
before operating.
• Always verify your charges with a scale before loading.
• Any moisture in the unit will cause powder to stick, and charge
weights will vary dramatically.
