When used in conjunction with the Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gage (Sold Separately) you are able to determine the exact bullet seating depth for the ultimate precision.

If a China company copied these they'd only cost $10 for the master kit. A CNC matchine can make these in seconds. I won't pay $6 for each additional caliber inserts or $30 for the Shoulder/Chamber comparator as my lathe is almost set up and I will make my own. The product is of great quality and great function, but way overpriced. But where else are you going to get one? EXACTLY. Hornady is Makin a Killin! Seems ANYTHING shooting sports related is a cash cow like OPEC was running the show. I'm a Veteran living on $600/month (every dime saved is significant) and they're pricing people out of the sport/hobby. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have tool for accurate rifle reloads *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2017* A load comparator set allows you to get an accurate measurement of your actual rifle round from the base to the ogive of the bullethead, which is more accurate than just measuring the OAL of the round. Due to inconsistencies in bullet head manufacturing you will find differences. By measuring to the ogive and then reloading your bullets using that measurement and the actual chamber measurements of your rifle, you can get a consistent reload with more stable ogive to lands measurements which will improve your accuracy.To do this you need a few tools.The OAL gauge connects to a modified case and allows you to measure the chamber specs of your rifle. You then use those measurements to accurately figure out your riflers preference for your reloaded rounds. The bullets jump to the rifle lands is a very important calculation for accuracy. Too short and the bullet can cock or angle which causes inaccuracy. Too long and the bullet can contact the the lands when fired which can increase pressure in the case which is not only dangerous, but leads to inaccuracy and also an increase in pressure is also not good if you plan on using your cases multiple times.The whole set up for these measurements cost less than $100. The OAL length gauge, an anvil base, comparator set and inserts, headspace gauge kit, and some modified cases in the caliber you need will get you going. You will also need to connect these to your dial calipers, which if you are reloading your own ammo you should already have dial calipers.Is all this really needed? No. You can use a reload manual and get a decent round. If you are really looking for accuracy you can then make different loads in different lengths, and eventually arrive at the same place. But how many rounds did you have to go through for each load before you found nirvana with your load? 10? 50? 75? And this needs to be done for every bullet weight and profile, for each of your rifles. At around $1 a load, this equipment easily pays for itself in bullet development. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must buy for reloading. *by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2015* Awesome. Must have for precision loads. The package DOES include the red comparator, I'll attach a photo. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/278753367-hornady-lock-n-load-comparator-body](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/278753367-hornady-lock-n-load-comparator-body) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
