In this video, you'll see an overview of the Hornady Lock-N-Load classic reloading press. This video shows the reloading process using components from the Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic reloading kit. This press uses the same Lock-N-Load bushing system as found on the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP progressive reloading press, so you can quickly change dies over (and even the powder measure) between the Lock-N-Load classic, and the Lock-N-Load AP progressive, a very handy system.

Good site for a beginner like me. Question: Is the die(?) into which the case is being inserted as the primer is being inserted into the case part of the lock-n-load classic press kit or is that something separate that you have to purchase specifically for the 30-’06 round? Also, what is that called? Thanks!
There’s a couple of ways that you can prime on the press:
First, you can prime while you deprime/size:
1. The case is inserted into the shell holder
2. The case is pushed into the sizing/depriming die- the case is both sized and deprimed at the same time
3. While the ram is up, a primer is put into the primer cup (attached to the primer arm)
4. The ram is lowered, and the primer is inserted
The other way this can be done (shown in this video) is to deprime/size first, then remove case, clean primer pocket (with separate tool), then put the case back in the shellholder to prime.
In either case what you need in addition to what comes with the press is the appropriate shellholder, and the dies.
Hi I was wondering if you could help me out. I own this press (hornady LNL classic) reloading .22-250 rounds. The bullet setting die is marking the tip of the bullet. The marks are circular in apperance and it looks as though you twisted the tip bullet inside the case. If that makes sense! Any suggestions ideas on how to prevent that? Thanks I enjoy the website! Keep the good info coming.
Brock- what dies are you using?
Got a question for you. I will be getting one of these soon.( My first press) In the video you never removed the case and checked to see if it needs trimmed. Is that something you left out of the video or do the dies do it for you?
I’m sure you’ll like this press! The dies do not check the case length, you’ll need to do that with a pair of calipers, and compare to the specifications for that cardridge (reloading manual included with kit has this data) and decide whether to trim or not.
Note that you’ll need to purchase a trimmer separately if you want to trim as that is not included in the Lock-N-Load classic reloading kit.
