Overview
Built for reloaders who want to streamline rifle ammunition assembly, this bullet feeder kit is set up for 22 caliber bullets and is intended for use with the Hornady Lock-N-Load Progressive Press system. It is also compatible with other presses that use standard 7/8"-14 die threads, and a 30 caliber conversion kit is available separately for added flexibility. The case-activated bullet feed design only feeds when the case makes contact, and the process combines feeding, seating, and crimping in one station. For shooters loading .221 Fireball through 22-6mm, it offers a practical way to reduce time spent at the bench without changing the basic workflow.

Pros

- Compatible with other presses using standard 7/8"-14 die threads.

- Combines feeding, seating, and crimping in one station.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Configured as a complete unit for 22 caliber bullets, so a separate conversion kit is needed if you want to switch to 30 caliber use.
- The bullet feeder die is case activated, which means feeding occurs only when the case makes contact; that adds a setup dependency to the loading process.
- The system is intended to be used with the Lock-N-Load Case Feeder to realize the stated efficiency gains, so results may differ without that paired component.
- The 22 caliber kit is specified for cartridge sizes from .221 Fireball through 22-6mm, so it is not a universal bullet-feeding solution for all rifle calibers.
