Hornady A308 Lock-N-Load Modified Case 308 Winchester Brass

The Hornady A308 Lock-N-Load Modified Case transforms precision handloading by providing a factory-fired case specifically engineered for the Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gauge. This modified 308 Winchester brass eliminates guesswork in cartridge overall length determination, enabling handloaders to achieve optimal bullet seating depth for maximum accuracy.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard fired brass, this modified case features a precisely drilled flash hole that accepts the Lock-N-Load gauge's threaded rod system. The case maintains factory chamber dimensions while allowing direct measurement from the lands to the case head. This eliminates the variables introduced by using random fired brass, providing consistent baseline measurements across multiple reloading sessions.

Key Features

• Factory-fired 308 Winchester brass with precise flash hole modification
• Engineered specifically for Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gauge compatibility
• Maintains SAAMI-spec chamber dimensions for accurate measurements
• Threaded flash hole accepts standard Lock-N-Load gauge components
• Quality Hornady brass construction ensures dimensional stability
• Eliminates need to modify personal fired brass cases
• Compatible with all 308 Winchester chamber specifications

This modified case proves essential for precision handloaders seeking consistent cartridge overall length measurements. Competition shooters rely on exact bullet seating depth to achieve sub-MOA accuracy, while hunters benefit from optimized loads that maximize terminal performance. The modified case works effectively across temperature ranges and maintains measurement accuracy through repeated use.
