Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Tube 45 Auto

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Tube 45 Auto (SKU: PC095352) is a precision-engineered component designed for serious handloaders who demand efficiency on progressive reloading presses. Built specifically for .45 ACP ammunition production, this bullet tube enhances the reloading workflow by facilitating bullet indexing and feeding through a gravity-feed mechanism. Whether you're a competitive shooter, law enforcement armorer, or military-trained reloader, this system significantly improves the speed and repeatability required for high-volume production environments.

The Lock-N-Load Bullet Tube functions as a gravity-feed cartridge magazine compatible with the Hornady Bullet Feeder die system (sold separately), allowing seamless integration into any compatible progressive press. Its tube geometry is designed to precisely accommodate .45 Auto projectiles, preventing jamming and ensuring smooth, consistent feeding through each reloading cycle. The compact design—measuring 4.75 x 1.15 x 20.95 inches and weighing 0.86 lbs—mounts cleanly without disrupting press geometry, while its durable construction withstands thousands of rounds without wear or dimensional drift.

Handloaders working with .45 Auto—from match-grade competition rounds to duty-standard specifications—benefit most from this modular approach, which allows operators to swap tubes between calibers without replacing the entire feeder system. This feature dramatically reduces long-term equipment investment and enhances the versatility of your reloading setup. The Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Tube is an essential tool for anyone looking to optimize their reloading process.
