The Hornady A762 Lock-N-Load Modified Case transforms 7.62x39mm cartridge measurement from guesswork into precision science. This specialized reloading tool enables accurate overall cartridge length determination for optimal chamber fit and consistent performance across multiple firearms platforms.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard dummy rounds or makeshift measurement methods, this factory-modified case features precise threading that locks securely into the Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gauge. The case maintains exact chamber dimensions while providing repeatable measurements within 0.001 inches. Standard measurement techniques often introduce variables that compromise accuracy, while this system eliminates human error through mechanical precision.
Key Features
- Factory-modified 7.62x39mm case with precision threading for Lock-N-Load compatibility
- Maintains exact SAAMI chamber specifications for accurate measurements
- Constructed from once-fired brass cases for dimensional consistency
- Compatible with all Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gauge systems
