Precision .17 caliber insert for the Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator. Measures bullet length from base to ogive for consistent handload specifications and tighter shooting groups.
The Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Insert #1-17 is an essential tool for serious reloaders who demand consistency in their ammunition. This .17 caliber insert works with the Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator system to eliminate the variables that plague traditional overall length measurements.
Bullet tips and finishes vary slightly from one round to the next due to manufacturing tolerances and material differences. These small variations can throw off your measurements and compromise the precision of your handloads. By measuring from the bullet's base to a specific point on the ogive—the curved section of the bullet—you get a far more consistent and reliable measurement.
When you build ammunition with this level of precision, you're not just chasing numbers on a scale. You're building the foundation for superior accuracy and reliability. Whether you're loading for competition or hunting, this insert helps you achieve the consistency that separates good ammunition from great ammunition.
