Hornady Lock-N-Load Comparator Body

A must if reloading, great product

If you want to get your reloading to a better level this tool and the overall length gauge are the way to go. Measurements to the ogive give you better consistency in your loads and the tool is very easy to use. Works great and is worth the money spent.

If your used to reloading or measuring with a caliper, this tool will not be difficult to use. I have been using it for 6 months and can give a thorough review. The comparator is well made, and the inserts are also solid. With frequent use, it does not show signs of wear. I expect this will last forever if taken care of. The more consistent you can make your rounds the more accurate you will be. There are deviations in bullet length, and this alleviates them by going off the ogive of the bullet. This is a must have if accuracy is your goal at the range.

Superbly tool. After initial set up and running approximately 150 pieces of Federal Gold Medal Match once fired brass through it I broke out the calipers / gauges and found 8 out of 10 measured 0.0145" at the neck consistently. Yes, occasionally I get one or two that just get TOTALLY wild and measure around 0.0148"....I'll try and sleep tonight knowing that this tool occasionally varies by 3/10,000 of an inch (don't beat me up if my math is off, I didn't always wear my helmet). The click adjustment for tuning the cutting depth is solid with very firm, positive clicks. If I closed my eyes it felt similar to the turret clicks on a Nightforce optic. But how quickly does it work? Well since I'm new to neck turning I have nothing to compare it to, but on average it takes me less than 20 seconds to fit, run, and remove a case using a standard cordless drill so I'd say it's somewhere between Lightning McQueen and the Roadrunner fast. One thing I've found is that a very small dab of lube on the mandrel makes the process smoother as well as using a cheap 1" paintbrush to sweep shavings away between each case. In short if you are gonna turn necks just buy this thing and forget about it.

Decent tool. Still working to master use.

It's a super useful tool, but it is only made of small turned aluminum stock for gawds sake. If a China company copied these they'd only cost $10 for the master kit. A CNC matchine can make these in seconds. I won't pay $6 for each additional caliber inserts or $30 for the Shoulder/Chamber comparator as my lathe is almost set up and I will make my own. The product is of great quality and great function, but way overpriced. But where else are you going to get one? EXACTLY. Hornady is Makin a Killin! Seems ANYTHING shooting sports related is a cash cow like OPEC was running the show. I'm a Veteran living on $600/month (every dime saved is significant) and they're pricing people out of the sport/hobby.

If you are here it's because you need this stuff and this kit has what you need

Very easy to use... Thumbscrew holds on the calipers and fits well. I feel this tool has greatly improved the quality and uniformity of my rifle reloading. Every meplat is different and this takes the tip out of the formula. Measures from about where the ogive is and gives a uniform measurement of the cartridge length. I couldn't tell you the last time I measured from base to tip of a cartridge because I exclusively use this tool. It's a must have for accuracy. The only quirk with it is try to use the same pressure on each cartridge because you can jam the bullet into the tool a few thous and get an inaccurate reading. Sorry I didn't have a photo of me actually using the tool

Very handy tool for making precise measurements

Exelente producto y de buena calidad, llegó a tiempo.

Livraison rapide et produit conforme ! Merci beaucoup

Zur korrekten Vermessung einer Patronenlänge ist dieses Teil wichtig. Umfangreiche Aufsätze für verschiedenste Geschoss-Diameter. Deckt fast alle Großkaliber ab. Einfache Handhabung. Zum Thema L6 Patronenlänge, b.z.w. Messung an der Geschoss-Ogive, will ich hier nichts weiter erläutern. Sollte hoffentlich jedem Wiederlader bekannt sein...
