The Hornady Case Lube Pad & Loading Tray (Model: H020043) is a practical, space-saving two-in-one reloading accessory designed to streamline the case preparation and cartridge charging processes. This fully manual, non-powered unit consists of a durable red plastic base housing a foam pad, paired with a removable lid that functions as a universal loading block. Because it operates without electrical components, this accessory is 100% compatible with Australian reloading benches out of the box, requiring no power adaptors or electrical certifications.

Key Features

• Integrated Dual-Purpose Design: The space-saving unit houses a case lube pad in the base and features a removable lid that doubles as a stable, upright loading block.
• Efficient Case Lubrication: The non-absorbent foam pad allows handloaders to apply a few drops of liquid or paste sizing lubricant and roll multiple cartridge cases simultaneously, ensuring a thin, even coat that prevents stuck cases in resizing dies.
• Organised Loading Block: The detached lid features 50 individual, compartmentalised recessed holes to securely hold cartridges during powder charging, bullet seating, or physical inspection.
• Universal Calibre Compatibility: Engineered to accommodate most standard rifle and handgun cartridges, including common calibres such as .223 Rem, .308 Win, and 9mm.

Who is the Hornady Case Lube Pad & Loading Tray for?

• Handloaders processing rifle and pistol cartridges — requires an integrated accessory measuring 7 x 4 x 2 inches to quickly roll-lubricate cases on a manual foam pad and securely hold up to 50 cartridges in an upright position during critical powder charging and bullet seating steps.
• Reloaders seeking a dual-purpose space-saving bench accessory — benefit from a lightweight 6.4-ounce unit that consolidates two essential prep tools into a single compact footprint, maximizing available workspace on a crowded reloading bench.

Less suitable for: Precision shooters processing oversized ammunition, such as .50 BMG, which exceeds standard calibre dimensions and requires a dedicated heavy-duty magnum loading block, or reloaders using aerosol-based dry film spray lubricants who do not require a manual case lube pad to prep their cartridge cases.
