Compatibility and Related Equipment

This assembly fits the Hornady Lock-N-Load Powder Measure, item #050069. However, it is not a complete powder measure, so you need the matching measure to use it. Before ordering, check whether you need this assembly or only the separate standard pistol metering insert, item #050116.

For example, this assembly can help set up the measure for pistol reloading. However, the correct charge depends on the powder, cartridge and published load data. Therefore, use current published load data and check each setting with a suitable scale before loading ammunition.

For the complete measure, see the Hornady L&L Powder Measure. If you are setting up a progressive press, you can also view the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Loader five-station progressive press.

For further details, consult the official Hornady Powder Measures and Accessories page. There, you can check the maker’s information and confirm compatibility before ordering.

Specifications

Finally, follow Hornady’s instructions when changing parts or adjusting the measure. Also, check every new setting with a suitable scale before use. Although this assembly makes it easier to change the setup for pistol charges, it does not replace careful measurement or current published load data.
