Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Insert #5-26

Precision Bullet Seating Measurement

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Insert #5-26 is a specialized accessory designed for reloaders who demand consistency in their ammunition. This insert accommodates .264/6.5mm caliber bullets and integrates seamlessly with the Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator system.

How It Works

Attach the comparator tool to your caliper blade using the included thumbscrew, then insert this caliber-specific insert to measure bullet seating depth directly from the bullet's ogive—the curved tip of the projectile. This method provides far more accurate measurements than traditional case-mouth measurements.

Why It Matters

Eliminate Seating Depth Variation: Inconsistent bullet seating is a primary source of velocity variation and accuracy problems. By measuring from the ogive rather than the case mouth, you account for natural variations in case length and ensure every round seats to the same precise depth.

Easy to Use: Simply select the correct insert for your caliber, attach it to your comparator, and measure. No complicated setup or calculations required.

The Advantage

Reloaders who control bullet seating depth to within 0.01 inches typically see significant improvements in accuracy and consistency. This insert is an essential tool for anyone serious about precision ammunition development.
