Description

This lot consists of four components for ammunition reloading: the Hornady Lock-N-Load Powder Measure device, its accompanying powder reservoir tube, one small metering insert, and the original packaging box. The device is specifically identified as the Hornady Lock-N-Load Powder Measure, manufactured by Hornady Reloaders of Grand Island, Nebraska. The powder measure body is constructed of metal and finished in a textured, bright red enamel. It features exposed unfinished aluminum threading for mounting and metering plates. The separate reservoir is a large, dark translucent polymer cylinder with a black cap, bearing the manufacturer’s label. The packaging box indicates the device’s capability to measure charges ranging from 0.5 grains up to 265 grains, utilizing quick-change metering inserts. The included small metering insert is constructed of knurled silver-toned metal. This tool is designed for use in progressive or single-stage reloading presses.
Condition: The mechanical components of the powder measure and reservoir appear to be in good, used condition. The red enamel finish on the main body shows minor scuffs and handling marks consistent with use in a reloading environment. Exposed aluminum surfaces are bright with no visible corrosion. The polymer reservoir is intact, though it exhibits minor internal residue from previous powder use. The included small metering insert is clean. The original cardboard packaging box is heavily distressed, torn, and worn, but retains legible identifying features and feature descriptions. We have not function-tested this tool with live powder charges. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal laws regarding the use and possession of reloading equipment.
