Hornady B26N Lock-N-Load Modified Case 26 Nosler Brass

The Hornady B26N Lock-N-Load Modified Case enables precise cartridge overall length (COAL) measurements for 26 Nosler ammunition. This precision-machined brass case integrates with Hornady's Lock-N-Load Straight-Line OAL Gauge to determine optimal bullet seating depth for maximum accuracy.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard fired cases that vary in dimensions, this factory-modified case maintains consistent headspace and chamber dimensions. The precision threading allows repeatable measurements within 0.001 inches, eliminating guesswork in load development. Standard measuring methods using fired brass can introduce variables that affect accuracy potential.

Key Features

• Precision-machined threads for Lock-N-Load OAL Gauge compatibility
• Factory headspace dimensions ensure consistent measurements
• 26 Nosler chamber specifications for exact cartridge fit
• Eliminates variables present in fired brass cases
• Repeatable measurements within 0.001-inch tolerance
• Durable brass construction withstands repeated use
• Compatible with all Hornady Lock-N-Load measuring tools

Accurate COAL measurements directly impact bullet jump to the rifling, affecting both precision and pressure. This modified case allows handloaders to establish optimal seating depths for match-grade accuracy in hunting rifles, precision shooting platforms, and competition firearms. The consistent dimensions eliminate the trial-and-error approach common with fired brass measurements.
