Precision bullet measurement insert for .308/7.62/8mm calibers. Measures from base to ogive for consistent reloading and tighter shot groups.
The Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Insert #30 is an essential tool for serious reloaders who demand consistency in their ammunition. This insert is specifically designed for .308, 7.62, and 8mm caliber bullets.
Bullet length varies naturally due to material composition and tip finish variations. A standard ruler or caliper measures the overall length, but this can be misleading. The Lock-N-Load system measures from the bullet's base to a specific point on the ogive—the curved nose section—where variation is minimal to nonexistent.
Whether you're loading for precision rifle competition or hunting, this insert helps you build ammunition that performs. By monitoring overall length from the ogive rather than the tip, you'll achieve the consistency that separates good handloads from great ones.
