Hornady 095334 Bullet Feeder Die for 45 ACP Reloading

If you're running a progressive press setup and want to eliminate the tedious manual bullet feeding that slows down high-volume 45 ACP reloading, the Hornady 095334 Bullet Feeder Die is built to streamline your workflow. This die pairs with Hornady's Lock-N-Load Bullet Feeder system to automate bullet insertion, letting you focus on case prep and powder charging instead of wrestling with each round individually. Handloaders who crank out volume—whether you're prepping ammo for competition, training, or field use—find that a bullet feeder die cuts fatigue and picks up the pace significantly.

The design uses a tube-and-collet mechanism that grips the bullet securely until a fresh case pushes into the die, creating a smooth, reliable feed cycle. Since the die is solid steel, it's built to last through thousands of rounds without losing precision or durability. Setup is straightforward: it threads directly into your press using the standard 7/8"-14 industry thread, no special adapters or tools needed. Keep in mind that the Bullet Feeder unit and bullet tubes are sold separately, so confirm you have the complete system before you start loading.

For reloaders who've outgrown single-stage or turret presses and are now running a progressive setup, a bullet feeder die is one of the best investments you can make. It transforms 45 ACP reloading from a manual, stop-and-feed process into something that feels almost automatic—and that speed adds up fast over a season of shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What press does this die work with?

The Hornady Bullet Feeder Die threads into any progressive press with a standard 7/8"-14 toolhead. It's designed to work as part of the Lock-N-Load Bullet Feeder system; check your press manual or contact us if you're unsure about compatibility with your specific equipment.

Do I get the feeder tube and cartridge tubes with this die?

No. This is the die only. The Lock-N-Load Bullet Feeder unit and the 45 ACP bullet tubes are sold separately and are required for the system to function.

Will this speed up my reloading?

Yes. By automating bullet feeding, you eliminate the manual step of inserting each bullet into the die, which significantly reduces operator handling and fatigue during long reloading sessions. The exact speed gain depends on your press setup and technique, but most reloaders report noticeable improvement in overall cycle time.

What kind of maintenance does it need?

The solid steel construction is durable and straightforward. Keep it clean and dry when not in use. Refer to your Lock-N-Load system manual for specific maintenance and cleaning guidance.
