Overview

Achieve unparalleled reloading precision with the Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Insert, an essential tool for serious handloaders and precision shooters. For those striving for pinpoint accuracy in hunting or sporting applications, measuring cartridge overall length (OAL) from the bullet tip can be unreliable due to natural variations in bullet meplats (tips). This innovative comparator insert eliminates that inconsistency by allowing you to precisely measure from the bullet's ogive – the critical bearing surface that engages the rifling.

Designed for seamless integration with the Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Body and any standard set of calipers, these calibre-specific inserts deliver exact, repeatable measurements. They are invaluable for sorting bullets by consistent ogive length or verifying precise seating depths. Whether you are fine-tuning bullet jump to the lands for optimal rifle performance or ensuring batch-to-batch consistency for your handloads, this tool is a game-changer for your reloading bench, helping you achieve tighter groupings and improved accuracy.

Please Note: This product is the calibre-specific insert only. The Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Body (sold separately) and a standard set of calipers are required for use.

  • Precision Measurement: Measures from the bullet's ogive rather than the tip, eliminating errors caused by meplat inconsistencies and tip deformation, crucial for consistent accuracy.

  • Calibre-Specific Accuracy: Machined to exact tolerances for specific calibres, ensuring a perfect interface with the bullet's bearing surface and reliable data.

  • Easy Installation: Slides easily into the Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Body and secures quickly with a thumb screw for rapid calibre changes and efficient workflow.

  • Improves Consistency: Essential for accurately measuring base-to-ogive length, allowing you to fine-tune seating depth and bullet jump for tighter groupings and enhanced ballistic performance.

  • Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality machined aluminium to prevent marring of the bullet while providing a lifetime of reliable measuring for your reloading needs.
