Hornady Straight O.A.L. Gauge

Description

The Hornady Straight O.A.L. Gauge is universally acclaimed as the most accurate, easy-to-use and reliable method of regulating seating depth and the resulting “jump” to the rifling. For all bolt‑action and single‑shot firearms, or any firearm with straight‑line access to the chamber. This model is preferred, as it is most precise and user friendly.

Achieve precise bullet seating depth

To use the Lock-N-Load O.A.L. Gauge, you will need a Modified Case (sold separately) to fit your firearm’s chamber and thread it onto the gauge. These specially prepared modified cases are threaded at the case-head and have a .002″ oversized neck to accept the same bullets you intend to load.

This is critical, as the Lock-N-Load O.A.L. Gauge dimensions obtained will be accurate to .001″. These results cannot be attained with competitive products, which use a simulated bullet with an arbitrary shape.

Hornady Philosophy

“Ten bullets through one hole” is the  was the philosophy of Joyce Hornady, the company’s founder. This philosophy brought Hornady Manufacturing from a two-man operation in 1949, to a world-leading innovator of bullet, ammunition, reloading tool and accessory design and manufacture today. At Hornady, ammunition is more than their livelihood. Therefore, it’s a major part of their daily life. Above all, Hornady acquired SnapSafe in 2015 to complement and expand their offerings in the security products market segment.
