C1550 Lock-N-Load OAL Length Gauge (Curved)

Now this is something I should have had a long time ago. It is nice to see the variations of bullets and to have a very accurate bullet depth settling. Wel worth the money.

Worked as described.

Use this as a great, accurate way to ensure you are getting a consistent overall cartridge length or you reloads. Since it measures against a certain point on the ogive, you don't have to worry about inconsistent trim lengths of your brass. I got the curve version to use with M1 Garands, Trapdoors, and some rifles that would not accept the straight version. The curved version will work on almost anything, including bolt action rifles.

Great

When accuracy is your goal then you really need the overall length gauge. I shoot a Springfield M1A Super Match and although this rifle is capable of amazing groups with the use of this tool and using the information that I gathered by checking this rifle I was able to see my groups shrink by over 1/4"at 100 yards I now see three round groups that are touching one another and at 500 yards by over 2" by properly sizing my rounds to the rifle. This may not sound like much but in a competition it can mean quite a few more X ring shots. In hunting it can mean the difference in a wounded animal and a clean one shot kill. I highly recommend using the Hornady Lock N Load Overall Length Gauge if you reload. By the way I now use this tool with my hunting rifles and have seen my groups decrease in size with these weapons too.

Special modified cases are a little pricey but you can make your own with correct drill and tap. A lathe or milling machine would be helpful but not required. But it is a useful tool even if you have to buy the cases. The measurements will not be consistent if the chamber and throat are not clean.

Well pleased with the tool. Was disappointed with Amazon shipping as the package was severely damaged. There was a slight bend but I straightened it out and it works great now.

Has very tight tolerance

e un dispositivo indispensabile per misurare la cartuccia e la palla inserita nella camera di cartuccia dei fucili automatici l'unico disponibile sul mercato prodotto da Hornady leader nel campo ricarica

Necessari per totes les persones que recarreguin rifles semiautomàtics i vulguin mesurar acuradament l'OAL correcte del seu cartutx. Imprescindible per aquells rifles on no es pot inserir la versió recta.

Fit and finish great works well

The package was poorly prepped for shipping as cartridge was damaged and bend, Good thing the tool was short and no damage was done to the instrument

Imprescindible
