Hornady has unveiled new handloading products and reference guides for 2026.
Lock-N-Load Classic Pro Press
Hornady has revamped the classic Lock-N-Load Classic Pro Press, which is engineered with precision-machined surfaces, brass bushings, linkage pins and primer cups. These details help ensure not only tighter tolerances on the machine itself, but it also translates to smoother press strokes and consistent results during every reloading session. The newly updated Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Pro Press also includes an integrated grease zerk and internal oil relief cut. These details help with press maintenance and help keep your press running at peak performance.
Versa Prime Bench Priming Tool
The Hornady Versa Prime Bench Priming Tool facilitates the insertion of fresh primers into processed brass cases prior to charging them with propellant and seating them with new bullets. Primer seating depth is designed to be adjustable and also tactile for utmost precision.
This handy gadget is manufactured from 6061 aluminum and designed to be anchored to your reloading bench’s surface. To feed primers, the Versa Prime uses an easy to switch rotary mechanism. It also has a 100 primer capacity.
