Hornady Manufacturing announced new reloading gear, including a new rifle bullet feeder, control panel for the company’s progressive press and a powder check die.

The rifle bullet feeder will feed .22 caliber bullets to nearly any progressive press including the company’s own Lock-N-Load press.  The kit can also be converted to feed .30 caliber bullets.  According to Hornady, the system should not be used with lead bullets.  MSRP is $493.13.

An electronic control panel to monitor the Lock-N-Load progressive press is another new item from Hornady.  The panel is designed to monitor the primer level, powder level, powder charge, number of strokes and more.  The basic panel is $165.87 and requires the addition of other sensors to monitor some functions.

Hornady’s new powder safeguard die works with the control panel to check for double charge and no charge powder levels.  The die can only be used on straightwall cartridges from 9mm to .45 caliber.  MSRP is $82.85.
