Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Deluxe Spent Primer Catcher – Precision Reloading Accessory

If you're running a Hornady Lock-N-Load progressive press, you know that spent primers scatter everywhere—and cleaning them up is tedious, messy, and frankly unsafe to leave lying around the bench. The Hornady Lock-N-Load AP Deluxe Spent Primer Catcher solves that problem by catching primers as they're ejected from the decapping die, so they drop straight into a contained reservoir instead of bouncing across your reloading table. It's a simple attachment that makes a real difference in workspace organization and safety, especially if you're loading high volume.

The large-capacity design means you won't be emptying it constantly during a long session, which lets you focus on the reload itself instead of housekeeping. Brass scraps and primer dust stay contained and ready to dispose of properly when you're done—no mess, no lost primers rolling under equipment, and significantly less cleanup time when the session wraps up.

This is standard gear for anyone running the Lock-N-Load AP system seriously. If you reload regularly and haven't got one yet, it's one of those accessories that feels essential the moment you use it.
