The Hornady Primer Punch - Small (Part #390034) is an OEM replacement reloading press component engineered for the Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Single Stage Press. Made from machined steel and weighing approximately 0.01 kg, this non-powered punch drops directly into the on-press priming arm assembly alongside the Hornady Small Primer Cup (#390005) and Cup Spring (#390007). It provides a uniform seating surface to drive small primers squarely and safely into primer pockets measured at a nominal 0.175 in (4.45 mm) diameter, making it essential for replacing deformed punches or setting up a press for small-calibre priming.

Key Features

  • Factory-Original Fit: Serves as a direct replacement component for the Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Single Stage Press priming arm, requiring no modifications for installation.
  • Precision Seating Surface: Machined steel construction delivers a flat face designed to seat boxer-type small primers consistently below flush.
  • Standard Calibre Setup: Configures on-press priming systems for standard Small Rifle, Small Pistol, and matching small magnum primers.
  • Mechanical Simplicity: Operates as a purely mechanical press component without springs, motors, or electrical requirements.

Who is the Hornady Primer Punch - Small for?

  • Hornady Lock-N-Load Classic Single Stage Press owners — requiring a direct-fit reloading press primer punch to restore factory seating depth across cartridge cases featuring a 0.175 in (4.45 mm) primer pocket diameter.
  • Handloaders converting press priming systems from large to small primers — needing an authentic replacement punch weighing approximately 0.01 kg to swap out large-priming assemblies for 4.45 mm (0.175 in) small primer configurations.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seating primers into large primer pockets with a nominal 0.210 in (5.33 mm) diameter, such as Large Rifle or Large Pistol calibres, who require a dedicated large primer punch (Part #390035) and large cup assembly, or those using off-press handheld priming tools that rely on proprietary seating pin profiles.
