Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Insert #9-33
Precision .338 caliber insert for Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator. Measures bullet seating depth from the ogive to eliminate variation and ensure consistent ammunition quality.
Precision Bullet Seating Depth Measurement
The Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator Insert #9-33 is a caliber-specific accessory designed to work seamlessly with the Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator system. This insert allows you to measure bullet seating depth with precision, ensuring consistency across your handloaded ammunition.
How It Works
Setup is straightforward:
- Attach the comparator tool to your caliper blade using the included thumbscrew
- Insert the .338 caliber insert into the comparator
- Measure bullet length from the ogive (the curved tip of the bullet)
Why Seating Depth Matters
Variiation in bullet seating depth can affect:
- Accuracy — Inconsistent seating leads to velocity variations
- Pressure — Improper depth can create dangerous pressure spikes
- Reliability — Uniform ammunition performs predictably
By measuring from the ogive rather than the bullet tip, you're measuring the point that actually matters for chamber fit and performance.
