LOCK-N-LOAD ® AUTO CHARGE ™
The Hornady Lock-N-Load ® Auto Charge
™
is an extremely useful tool for the
beginning or serious reloader. It is great for a hand loader wanting to quickly
dispense the same precise charge again and again, or to vary charges with a given
powder for accuracy or velocity testing. This unit is quick to setup, easy to use, and
extremely accurate to +/-0.1 grains. Highlights include a 1000 grain scale capacity,
quick setup and calibration, 3 speed settings to accommodate different powder
types, a large and easy to read backlight display, manual or an extremely useful
automatic dispense option, trickle function, and over charge protection.
A. IMPORTANT SAFETY FUNCTIONS
WARNING - Before operating the unit please carefully read and under-
stand this document.
1) NEVER use with black powder – for smokeless powder only.
2) Do not store powder in the clear powder tube for extended periods. It can
absorb moisture from the air, or eventually attack the plastic.
3) Internal components are very sensitive. Do not shake, drop, or overload unit.
Handle unit with care, treating it as the sensitive instrument it is.
4) If spilled powder gets inside unit, do not operate. Contact Hornady Customer
Service: 1-800-338-3220
B. TIPS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
1) Fluctuation in temperature, even a couple of degrees, can cause scale readings
to vary. While the scale can be used right away, optimal performance will occur
after unit has warmed up for 5-15 minutes.
2) Always place the scale on a flat, level, and stable surface when in operation.
3) Electrical interference can cause scale readings to vary. Keep other electronic
devices (power strips, florescent lights, motors, radios, phones, etc) away from
scale when in operation.
4) Do not let a fan, AC, heater, or open window blow on scale.
5) Use of the clear cover over the powder pan will improve accuracy, and lessen
the effects of outside variables.
