The Hornady A65C Lock-N-Load Modified Case transforms precision reloading for 6.5 Creedmoor shooters by providing exact chamber measurements for optimal bullet seating depth. This modified brass case works exclusively with Hornady's Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gauge to determine precise cartridge overall length (COAL) for maximum accuracy potential.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard fired brass that may not perfectly match your rifle's chamber dimensions, this factory-modified case features a precisely drilled case mouth that accepts the Lock-N-Load gauge's bullet holder mechanism. The modification ensures consistent measurements across multiple testing sessions while eliminating variables introduced by using random fired cases. This systematic approach delivers repeatable data for establishing optimal seating depths.
Key Features
- Factory-modified 6.5 Creedmoor brass case with precision-drilled case mouth
- Compatible exclusively with Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gauge (sold separately)
- Enables accurate measurement of rifle's specific chamber dimensions
- Constructed from quality Hornady brass for dimensional consistency
- Threaded case mouth accepts Lock-N-Load bullet comparator inserts
- Eliminates guesswork in determining optimal cartridge overall length
- Reusable design for multiple measurement sessions
Precision shooters and competitive marksmen rely on exact bullet seating depths to achieve sub-MOA accuracy. This modified case enables systematic testing of different seating depths to find each rifle's accuracy node. Long-range hunters benefit from the improved consistency when developing loads for extended-range shots where minor variations significantly impact trajectory.
