The Hornady Lock-N-Load Case Feeder Plate – Small Pistol (SKU 095310) is a dedicated mechanical feed disc engineered to automate brass handling on progressive reloading setups. Designed to drop directly into the hopper bowl of the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Automatic Case Feeder and the Lock-N-Load Ammo Plant, this component eliminates manual brass placement during progressive loading cycles. As the drive shaft rotates the plate, calibrated perimeter pockets capture and orient handgun cartridge cases base-down into the drop funnel, supporting steady feed rates often exceeding 500 rounds per hour. Weighing approximately 1.55 lbs, it operates as a passive mechanical part driven entirely by the motorized feeder assembly, ensuring universal compatibility across both 110V and Australian 220–240V case feeder units without electrical modifications.

Key Features

• Automatic Case Orientation: Precision perimeter cutouts capture small-diameter cartridge cases and drop them base-first into the feed tube mechanism.
• Direct-Drive Engagement: Molded underside drive slots mate directly with the motorised feeder drive shaft pawls for tool-free drop-in installation and removal.
• High-Volume Progressive Cycling: Delivers hands-free case feeding to maintain continuous production speeds above 500 rounds per hour on Lock-N-Load AP presses.
• Universal Feeder Compatibility: Operates mechanically without internal wiring or motors, functioning interchangeably on 110V and 220–240V Lock-N-Load drive units.

Who is the Hornady Case Feeder Plate - Small Pistol for?

• High-volume handgun reloaders using Hornady Lock-N-Load AP presses — integrates directly into existing motorized hoppers to automate cycling, using a 1.55 lbs mechanical disc that drops onto drive pawls to eliminate manual brass feeding.
• Competitive shooters loading 9mm Luger and .380 ACP in bulk — relies on perimeter slots sized specifically for cartridges with case rim and base diameters under 0.43 inches, ensuring accurate base-down feed orientation at continuous production speeds.

Less suitable for: Handgun cartridges with rim or base diameters exceeding the 0.43-inch threshold (such as .45 ACP, 10mm Auto, .44 Magnum, .38 Special, or .357 Magnum), which require a large pistol case feeder plate, or rifle cartridges of any length, which require dedicated small or large rifle feed plates.
