The Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Reloading Kit comes with everything you need to turn out high-quality, accurate hand loads. Built for speed, the Lock-N-Load Classic press allows you to switch dies to a new caliber and begin reloading again in seconds. The unit's automatic priming is hands-off and trouble free. The angled frame provides easier access to your cartridges. The Lock-N-Load Bushings allow you adjust your dies once, then lock the setting into place--for consistent reloads every time. The CNC machined die and ram openings create near perfect alignment of the ram and die, so cases are lined up properly with the dies at all times. This precision translates into greater accuracy. The strong, rigid frame also provides the stability necessary for precision reloading. With Lock-N-Load, one press can handle multiple calibers with ease. There is no need to purchase multiple presses so you can leave your dies in place. Your dies will remain exactly as you set them, within their Lock-N-Load Die Bushings.

The Lock-N-Load Reloading Press Kit comes with everything you need for high-quality, accurate hand loads.

I say it is great for a novice, because that is what I am, and I had no problems with this press at all. I did a lot of research before buying, and looked at a lot of brands. The Lock n' Load system of the Hornady is what made me purchase their press. Being able to set the dies in the collets and then know they are going to be perfect the next time is a huge time saver and a confidence builder. I am a hobby machinist as well, so I know a little about precise machinery and close tolerances, and I am impressed that Hornady can build such a precise press at such a low price. One other standout is the depriming function when resizing the brass, the deprimer works great, and very accurately drops the spent primers in the small bin provided. I have not had to chase any primers around on the floor. The rest of the kit is just great also, with decent quality components for the beginning reloader. If you are starting out in this hobby, this is a great way to do it, and you can grow for quite a while before needing something more complex. The huge variety of dies from Hornady is also a huge plus.

I have been using this kit for about 3 months now with no problems. This kit should get the beginner started reloading soon. There are a few things you might want to purchase along with this kit, such as a tumbler, case trimmer and bullet extractor, and of course the dies you will be using. Hornady reloading dies, bullets, etc are readily available at most reloading supply houses. Hornady has been very helpful with questions and answers when I come across them.

I purchased this item for my Husband as a Christmas Gift.
He was completely suprised. He loved it. He has so far this week made around 100 bullets.
I would recommend this item to anyone that like to reload there own and to any one that needs to get their husband who has everything, something.
