Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator: Enhancing Precision in Reloading

The Hornady Lock-N-Load® Bullet Comparator is an indispensable tool for reloaders aiming to achieve precise and consistent measurements of their ammunition. Traditional methods that measure cartridge lengths across bullet tips can lead to variations as much as .025 inches between rounds, making them unreliable and non-repeatable. In contrast, the Bullet Comparator measures from the ogive, significantly reducing discrepancies and ensuring more accurate measurements.

This innovative tool attaches seamlessly to the blade of a caliper and utilizes interchangeable inserts, covering sizes from .17 caliber to .45 caliber. This feature allows for precise measurement from the bullet ogive, substantially improving the accuracy of reloads. When used alongside the O.A.L. Gauge, the Bullet Comparator not only aligns the gauge for precise measurement but also enables direct comparison of loads. This assists in accurately setting up bullet seating dies and adjusting bullet free-travel (jump), optimizing the performance of each load.

The Lock-N-Load® Bullet Comparator is crucial for reloaders who seek to infuse greater precision into their handloads, translating to improved performance at the range and more effective results in hunting scenarios.
