The Hornady B28N Lock-N-Load Modified Case transforms precision handloading for 28 Nosler cartridges by enabling accurate bullet seating depth measurements. This specialized brass case integrates seamlessly with Hornady's Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gauge system to eliminate guesswork in cartridge overall length determination.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard fired cases that may vary in dimensions, this factory-modified case maintains consistent headspace and chamber fit specifications. The precision-drilled case mouth accommodates the Lock-N-Load gauge's measuring rod without interference, providing repeatable measurements within 0.001 inches. This level of accuracy surpasses field-expedient methods using fired brass or improvised measuring tools.
