Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Charge Powder Dispenser - 1000 gr

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Charge Powder Dispenser represents a significant efficiency gain for serious reloaders who demand speed without sacrificing precision. This 1000-grain capacity unit is designed for shooters and handloaders who process high volumes of ammunition and need consistent, repeatable powder charges for rifle and pistol cartridges. Whether you're preparing match ammunition, building duty loads, or stocking inventory, this automated dispenser eliminates manual measuring bottlenecks while maintaining the accuracy required for reliable ballistic performance.

The Lock-N-Load system delivers powder charges precise to within 0.1 grains across its full 1000-grain hopper capacity—critical for maintaining velocity consistency and shot-to-shot grouping. The integrated electronic scale and automated dispensing mechanism eliminate human error inherent in manual powder measures, reducing charge variance that can impact ballistic uniformity. Setup is straightforward: input your desired charge weight, and the unit meters powder with mechanical precision into waiting cartridge cases or powder pans. The compact footprint (7.3 x 7.3 x 15.6 inches) integrates seamlessly into existing reloading benches without occupying excessive workspace.

Law enforcement armorers, tactical shooters, competitive reloaders, and high-volume handloaders benefit most from this dispenser's speed and consistency. The 1000-grain hopper reduces frequent refills during extended reloading sessions, allowing operators to focus on case prep and bullet seating rather than manual charging. Works with all common rifle and pistol powders—from fast pistol powders (Unique, Power Pistol) to slow rifle powders (H4831, RL17)—making it a versatile addition to any serious reloading operation. Compatible with Hornady's broader Lock-N-Load reloading press ecosystem for integrated workflow efficiency.
