Hornady Powder Measure Drain Insert

The Hornady Powder Measure Drain Insert is a replacement insert for compatible Lock-N-Load powder measures. It allows the user to drain powder without removing the complete measure from its stand or mounting position.

Hornady Powder Measure Drain Insert Features

The insert replaces the standard metering insert in a compatible Lock-N-Load Powder Measure. Therefore, the user can empty the hopper through the measure without removing the complete assembly.

The drain insert provides a direct path for returning unused powder to its original container. In addition, this makes powder changes and end-of-use emptying simpler.

Hornady lists item 050125 for use with its Lock-N-Load Powder Measure range. The current 2026 Hornady catalogue states that the insert fits Lock-N-Load Powder Measures except the Bench Rest Grade Powder Measure. Therefore, users should check their specific model before installation.

The insert uses the same mounting position as the compatible metering insert. As a result, the user can exchange the metering insert for the drain insert when the measure needs to be emptied.

Product Details

The insert is intended for emptying the powder measure rather than dispensing a measured charge. After installation, the user can drain the powder without removing the measure from its stand.

Hornady recommends emptying the powder measure before storage. Therefore, the drain insert can simplify powder removal when changing powders or preparing the measure for storage.

The accessory does not form part of the standard Lock-N-Load Powder Measure. It serves as a replacement insert for users who need a convenient way to drain the hopper.

The current Hornady catalogue lists the Bench Rest Grade Powder Measure as an exception to compatibility. Therefore, users with that model should confirm the correct drain arrangement before fitting this accessory.
