Hornady Lock-N-Load Iron Press Manual Prime Reloading Press, Part Number 085520

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Iron Press Manual Prime Reloading Press is built for reloaders who demand strength, rigidity, and consistent performance. Part Number 085520 features a heavy-duty cast iron frame designed to minimize flex during sizing, seating, and other reloading operations. Its fully ambidextrous configuration allows comfortable use with either the right or left hand, while tight manufacturing and assembly tolerances support reliable, match-accurate ammunition production from one loading session to the next.
The press includes a spring-assisted, solid steel ram and Hornady’s patented Shell Holder Platform for smooth, controlled operation. Its patented Lock-N-Load bushing system enables fast die changes, helping reloaders switch between cartridges and processes with less downtime. The press accepts standard 7/8-inch-14 dies and is configured with an O-frame design for dependable leverage and stability. A manual priming system is included for direct control throughout the priming process.
An integrated accessory mounting deck expands the functionality of the Iron Press by keeping commonly used tools and components within easy reach. Reloaders can position trays, case preparation tools, neck brushes, primer pocket cleaners, and other accessories near the work area. The design also supports a flexible workflow that allows users to deprime a case, remove it for chamfering or deburring, and then return it for priming without disrupting the process. An optional gravity-fed Automatic Priming System is available separately and is also included with the Lock-N-Load Iron Press Reloading Kit.
With its cast iron construction, versatile mounting pattern, ambidextrous operation, manual priming capability, and fast Lock-N-Load bushing changes, the Hornady Iron Press provides a durable foundation for precision reloading. It is compatible with the Hornady AP mounting pattern and is designed to deliver the stability and repeatable operation needed for demanding handloading applications.
