If you're running a progressive reloading press and want to eliminate the tedium of hand-feeding bullets, the Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Feeder 3-Pack for .44/.45 Calibers pairs with a compatible Hornady bullet feeder die to transform your workflow. This three-tube set lets you pre-load bullets once, then drop the tube into your feeder die and keep cranking—no constant refilling, no interruptions. It's a simple system that turns a bottleneck in your process into a genuine speed boost on any progressive press equipped with 7/8-14 thread die-stations.

Each tube holds 40+ rounds depending on bullet weight and geometry, so you're not stopping every few seconds to add more ammunition to a hopper. The milled window running down the side of each tube lets you see at a glance when you're getting low, so you can swap in a fresh tube without guessing. Because the tubes themselves are the feed mechanism, you skip the complexity and maintenance hassle of a traditional hopper system—just load, insert, and press.

The real advantage here is flexibility. You get three tubes per pack, so you can pre-load multiple tubes during idle time or run one while the others are staged and ready. Swap calibers? Just pull the tube and drop in a new one sized for your bullets. Works with any Hornady bullet feeder die (ordered separately) on any progressive press that accepts 7/8-14 threaded dies—a standard found on most modern Hornady equipment and many compatibles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these tubes work with my Hornady progressive press?

Yes, if your progressive press has 7/8-14 threaded die-stations. The tubes attach to a compatible Hornady bullet feeder die screwed into that station. Check your press manual or product listing to confirm your die-station threading matches this standard.

Do I need anything else to use these tubes?

Yes—you'll need a Hornady bullet feeder die (sold separately) that threads into your press's 7/8-14 die-station. The tubes feed into the top of that die. The feeder die and these tubes work as a system.

How many bullets fit in one tube?

Each tube holds 40+ bullets depending on the caliber and weight of the specific bullet you're loading. The milled window on the tube lets you see when you're running low so you can swap in a fresh tube before it empties.

Can I use these tubes for different calibers?

This 3-pack is sized specifically for .44 and .45 caliber bullets. Hornady also makes Lock-N-Load Bullet Tubes in other caliber-specific configurations (9mm, .40/.10mm, etc.), so you'd need the correct caliber set for other rounds.
