Mounting the Lock-N-Load
®
Auto Progressive
Your work area should be well lit and have plenty of room for 
your reloading accessories. Your Hornady Lock-N-Load
®
 AP
™
should be mounted securely 2 1/4" from the edge of a solid level 
bench and 3.75" apart and at least 16" from the nearest wall.
Use the template found on the last page and a hole punch to 
help locate each hole. (Check for obstructions on or below the 
bench before you drill any holes.)
Place cartridge catcher bracket under press, line up holes in press 
with holes in bracket.Insert and firmly tighten both bolts. 
Mount the press using two 5/16" bolts that are long enough to 
secure the press to the bench with plenty of clearance for the 
nuts. (Due to variation of benches, these bolts are not provided.)  
We also recommend using 5/16" flat washers top and bottom, in 
addition to lock washers on the bottom side. 
Insert and firmly tighten both bolts.
Thread the press Handle into the Toggle at the bottom of the press 
and tighten the Jam Nut using a 15/16" wrench.
