Hornady Reloading Case Prep Tools

Reloading cartridges is worthwhile, ultimately offering a money-saving potential for frequent shooters. Experienced reloaders can also use a host of tools and techniques to achieve enhanced accuracy with their favored firearms. Whether just getting into reloading or a seasoned match shooter, Hornady has all the case preparation tools you need.

Hornady’s Lock-N-Load® Power Case Prep Center provides all-around versatility, saving time and bench space by rolling all necessary case preparation functions into one unit. The powerful trimmer is micro-adjustable to .001 (one-thousandth) of an inch and capable of trimming cases measuring from ¾-inch to 3¼-inch. Precision trimming often results in minuscule metal shavings. The Power Case Prep Center’s innovative design has that under control, keeping metal shavings in the amply sized, easily detachable catch trays and out of cartridge cases.

The trimmer is combined with chamfering and deburring tools, large and small primer pocket cleaners, six popular neck brush sizes, and pilots of the same caliber. Calibers include: .22, .25, 6mm, .270, 6.5mm, 7mm, .30, .35, and .45. The unit’s easy-grip handle offers leverage, and reloaders can arrange all of the accompanying tools however they choose on the front panel. 

Reloaders may purchase optional tools separately, including additional neck brushes, a flash hole deburring tool, a primer pocket reamer, or a primer pocket uniformer.

Moisture can be one of a reloader’s worst enemies. Now, reloaders can make sure their cartridge cases are completely dry with Hornady’s Digital Cases and Parts Dryer. Hundreds of cartridge cases, plus small and large gun parts, can be dried simultaneously. Four fixed trays hold cases and small parts, while a fifth adjustable tray can hold the larger pieces. The top-mounted digital powerhead controls the drying. Digitally adjust drying time from 15 minutes to two hours and select from seven temperature levels for quick or gentle drying. The unit takes seconds to set up and easily disassembles for thorough cleaning. 

Wringing that small but important match-level accuracy out of a cartridge is critical to many dedicated shooters. Turning a case’s neck, so it best fits the rifle’s chamber — with the bullet perfectly seated and aligned with the bore — often creates that subtle difference. Tweak those cases with the Hornady® Neck Turn Tool. The adjustment knob lets you choose detents for .0005-inch increments or no detents for infinite adjustment. Use your own variable speed drill to power the tool. The tool is designed to handle a wide variety of case lengths. Mandrels for four popular calibers are included: .22, 6mm, 6.5mm, and .30.
