Accuracy at the next level...
Seating depth is a critical measurement in precision reloading and this tool makes it possible to accurately measure as each bullet type touches the rifling lands providing a true overall cartridge length measurement. It also enables precise measurements to determine and monitor barrel throat wear as the barrel ages with use.I have found that it takes some practice to seat the bullet against the lands accurately so consistent measurements to a thousands of an inch are achieved. I take the average of three groups of 10 measurements to determine the OAL measurement.I use this tool in conjunction with a bore scope so as I push the bullet into the throat, I can monitor exactly when the bullet touches the lands but I have discovered that after the bullet touches the lands, it’s not possible to push it forward any further with normal hand pressure, so the bore scope is not actually beneficial.I wanted to take my shooting to the next level of accuracy so I bought the Hornady comparator tools (base, anvil & inserts) to measure from the case datum line & bullet ogive. These tools are well made, easy to use and very accurate. Precision shooting is all about eliminating variables and these tools do just that by providing a way to measure more accurately. In the past, tools of this nature were very expensive but Hornady has found a way to provide these tools at a great price so more shooters can enjoy the benefits. If you want to play at the next level, these tools are essential.

Should have ordered the knock offs
The guage works great but I wish I would have just bought one of the Chinese knock offs considering the rod for the hornady is also plastic. I remember the hornady having a metal rod on the older ones so it's disappointing they cheaped out and sell it with a plastic rod
