Hornady Lock-N-Load B14 Bullet Comparator Set
Complete 14-insert bullet comparator set for precise cartridge measurements. Measures from bullet ogive for consistent accuracy across multiple calibers from .172 to .458.
Precision Measurement for Handloaders
Measuring cartridge length across bullet tips is unreliable and prone to variation—often differing by as much as 0.025 inches from round to round. The Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator solves this problem by measuring from the ogive, the curved surface of the bullet, providing consistent and repeatable results.
What You Get
This complete set includes:
- Comparator body with thumbscrew attachment
- 14 interchangeable bullet inserts covering calibers from .172 to .458
Included caliber inserts:
- .172, .204, .224 (5.56mm), .243 (6mm), .257, .264, .277, .284 (7mm), .308 (7.62/8mm), .338, .358, .375, .416, .458
How It Works
Simply attach the comparator body to your caliper blade using the included thumbscrew, select the appropriate insert for your bullet diameter, and measure from the ogive. This method eliminates the inconsistencies inherent in tip-to-tip measurement and ensures uniformity across your loaded rounds.
Why It Matters
The ogive is a reliable reference point on every bullet, making this tool essential for:
- Verifying cartridge length consistency
- Checking bullet uniformity from base to ogive
- Achieving repeatable, accurate measurements
Whether you're a precision rifle shooter or a casual handloader, the Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator brings professional-grade measurement capability to your reloading bench.
