Hornady Lock-N-Load Die Bushing, Gray Metal, 2-Pack (Model 044094)

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Die Bushing system is built for reloaders who swap dies frequently and want to cut setup time at the bench. This gray metal 2-pack gives you quick-change capability using Hornady's patented Lock-N-Load technology, so you can move between different die setups without wrestling with threads or losing calibration between loads. If you're running a progressive press, single-stage, or turret setup that accepts Hornady press conversion bushings, these work across any compatible platform—no need to buy separate bushings for each press you own.

The real win here is speed and consistency. Install your dies into these bushings once, set your depths and spacing, then lock them in. Next time you need that caliber, drop the bushing back in, and you're dialed. For handloaders managing multiple calibers or running high-volume sessions, that workflow difference adds up fast. Each bushing is made to Hornady's quality standards and tested before it ships, so you're getting proven reloading equipment, not a convenience gimmick.

Whether you're loading pistol, rifle, or specialty cartridges, the Lock-N-Load system removes friction from die changes. The 2-pack is ideal if you're starting out with the platform or adding to an existing collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Lock-N-Load Die Bushing fit my reloading press?

The Lock-N-Load Die Bushing is designed for any press that accepts Hornady press conversion bushings. If your press is compatible with Hornady's conversion bushing system, this product will work with it. Check your press manual or contact us if you're unsure about compatibility with your specific model.

Can I use these bushings across different presses?

Yes. You can install your dies into these bushings, set them up for your chosen caliber and depth, and then move the bushing between any compatible presses. This makes it easy to share dies across multiple reloading stations or presses without resetting.

How does the Lock-N-Load system save time?

Once your dies are installed and positioned in a bushing, the Lock-N-Load mechanism holds them in place. You simply drop the bushing into your press, and your dies are ready to use at their preset depth. You eliminate the step of threading dies in and out and re-measuring depth each time you change calibers.
