Useful kit to calculate seating depth.
Useful bit of kit. Slightly flawed in that it doesn't use a fire-formed case, but when used with a head-space gauge and compared with a fired case can give a pretty accurate set of measurements to get your jump right. Even better when used with bullet comparator to get ogive measurements rather than COAL. There are other ways to make this measurement, but most aren't quite so convenient.

アメリカからの発送のため、若干時間がかかりましたが、確実に到着いたしました。2025/7/1注文で2025/7/25到着でした。遅れる旨はメールと電話にて連絡あり安心できました。また、こちらの商品は日本の税関で中身の確認を丁寧にされるため、開封されます。この手の商品は、個人輸入した場合も必ず開封されるため、慣れないと少し違和感が有るかもしれません。それが嫌なら店頭に並んでいる物を探して購入した方が良いかもしれません。

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.
