A Hornady Pro-Jector Progressive Press, Serial Number 21144, complete with its original packaging and a collection of reloading accessories. The press features a robust cast metal frame finished in a textured bright red enamel, paired with polished steel operating components. The press is designed for high-volume progressive reloading operations. This lot includes the press unit, the original large cardboard box, and the primary operating handle with a black ball grip. Accessories include one boxed Hornady Auto Powder Drop, one black threaded die/housing, and a red plastic parts bin containing various small components and a small white plastic container. The lot includes a total of six shell plates: four new-in-package Hornady Pro-Jector Shell Plates marked for calibers such as .44 Magnum, 22/250, 30-06, and .223, along with two large loose black shell plates.

HORNADY MANUFACTURING COMPANY Grand Island, Nebraska 68802.
Condition: The press is in good used condition, retaining approximately 95% of its original textured bright red enamel finish. There are minor scuffs and handling marks consistent with light to moderate use. The polished steel ram and operating components are bright and free of major corrosion or pitting. The included accessories and shell plates appear complete, with some items (such as the Auto Powder Drop and some shell plates) remaining in their original packaging. The original cardboard box shows significant shelf wear, creasing, and minor tearing but remains structurally intact for storage. We have not function-tested this reloading press with powder or primers; it is sold as-is. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws regarding the use of reloading equipment.
