The Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Case Feeder Plate – Large Pistol (Model: 095312) is a mechanical rotary collator plate designed for the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Automatic Case Feeder. Operating inside the motorised hopper bowl, this unpowered accessory plate automatically catches, correctly orients, and feeds large-diameter handgun and straight-wall magnum cartridge brass base-down into the drop tube assembly. Engineered for tool-free installation and removal, it allows reloaders to maintain continuous case feeding to sustain progressive press throughput rates exceeding 500 rounds per hour.

Key Features

• Rotary Sorting Mechanism: Contoured perimeter pockets capture and orient cases base-down into the feed chute while rejecting misaligned brass back into the hopper.
• Moulded Composite Construction: Features a durable high-strength polymer body paired with a metal central drive hub that interfaces directly with the case feeder's motor shaft.
• Tool-Free Changeovers: Drops directly into place and lifts out of the Lock-N-Load AP Case Feeder hopper bowl without complex tools to streamline calibre conversion times.
• Passive Mechanical Operation: Requires no direct electrical connection, running entirely via the central drive mechanism of the parent motorized unit.

Who is the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Large Pistol Case Feeder Plate for?

• High-volume handgun competitive shooters — sorting and orienting large straight-wall brass like .45 ACP and .38 Special to sustain continuous reloading throughput speeds exceeding 500 rounds per hour on the progressive reloading case feeder plate.
• Magnum revolver handloaders — collating long, rimmed magnum cartridge cases including .44 Magnum and .357 Magnum without jams while matching progressive press cycles exceeding 500 rounds per hour.

Less suitable for: Reloading smaller handgun calibres such as 9x19mm Luger, .380 ACP, or .40 S&W, which require a small-diameter pistol feeder plate; or bottleneck rifle calibres such as .223 Rem and .308 Win, which require dedicated small or large rifle collator plates.
