The Lock-N-Load® AP EZ-JECT conversion kit allows you to convert your LNL AP press (with serial number 7000 or higher) to use the EZ-JECT system.  This system ejects cases without the need of an ejection wire and is standard on 2009 model presses.

Hornady's original cases for the 500 S&W were made with Large Pistol Primer pockets. New cases are marked "LR" and made with a Large Rifle Primer Pocket.

**To verify the serial number of your machine, simply turn it over. It is clearly stamped on the silver sticker.

Reprogram the trickle speed to a slower speed.

Turn unit on and let it stabilize. Press the "0" button. (Unit should beep once.) Press the CAL button once. A number between 0.0 and 25.5 will appear. Press CAL... Continue Reading

There are five main reasons:

The pistol bullet feeder has a 120-volt electrical system (power supply, motor and electrical connector). The rifle bullet feeder has a 12-volt electrical system to eliminate the potential for electrical shock from a 120-volt system. The rifle bullet feeder has a shutoff switch to prevent...

Hornady started loading the Superformance line of ammunition in 2010. Hodgdon followed up with the introduction of a Superformance powder available for hand loaders. However, the one Superformance powder that Hodgdon sells is not usable in all rifle calibers. Like all powders, it has a particular burn rate and will work great in... Continue Reading

For most projectiles, the effect of the tip beginning to change shape is nearly immediate. From the graph of the drag coefficient (Cd) vs. distance above, you can see that the change in the drag of the projectile starts to happen immediately and accelerates until it stabilizes at about 300 yards. This is for a high ballistic coefficient (BC)... Continue Reading

Not with anything other than a grossly under-stabilized projectile. If limit cycle yaw was the root cause of the observed increase in drag short range, we would have seen the same drag signature regardless of tip used. Limit cycle yaw is a phenomenon associated with some projectiles in which, because of their shape and their stability,... Continue Reading

In situations involving extreme lack of gyroscopic stability (Sg), effects similar to what we witnessed could contribute to the effects we observed. Extensive radar testing proves this is not what is occurring. We perform extensive bullet modeling for both mass and aerodynamic properties using state-of-the-art, military-grade software called...

No, it would not. The drop in ballistic coefficient (BC) associated with a bullet flying down range as it slows down is driven by two things. First, it is caused mostly by the drag coefficient (Cd) versus Mach number (drag model) of the standard not being at all like the actual drag coefficient versus Mach number of the projectile that is...
