The Hornady Lock-N-Load Headspace Gauge is an essential tool for any serious shooter or reloader, designed to extend brass life, improve accuracy, and enhance safety. This precision instrument allows you to measure variations in your brass both before and after firing or resizing. Understanding these differences is crucial for maintaining consistent performance from your ammunition.
Included with the gauge are five interchangeable bushings that attach seamlessly to your caliper, utilizing the same body design as found on the Hornady Bullet Comparator. These bushings enable you to check most bottleneck cases ranging from .17 Remington through belted magnums. For those using Ackley Improved chambers, you'll find that they utilize the same bushing size as their parent case.
This headspace comparator facilitates a direct comparison between fire-formed brass from your firearm and resized brass, allowing you to make precise adjustments tailored specifically to your needs. Such scrutiny ensures not only enhanced accuracy but also maximizes casing longevity by preventing overworking of the metal.
