## Overview

The Hornady A65C Lock-N-Load Modified Case for 6.5 Creedmoor is a precision-engineered brass case threaded at the head and featuring a .002" oversized neck. Manufactured in the USA to SAAMI specifications, it is designed exclusively for use with the Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gauge to provide ultra-accurate bullet seating measurements. This tool enables reloaders to optimize bullet seating depth for improved accuracy and tighter groupings, backed by a lifetime warranty.

## Description

To use the Lock-N-Load O.A.L. Gauge, you will need a Modified Case (sold separately) to fit your firearm's chamber and thread it onto the gauge. These specially prepared modified cases are threaded at the case-head and have a .002" oversized neck to accept the same bullets you intend to load. This is critical, as the Lock-N-Load O.A.L. Gauge dimensions obtained will be accurate to .001". These results cannot be attained with competitive products, which use a simulated bullet with an arbitrary shape. Lock-N-Load Modified Cases are readily available to fit most popular rifle chambers. All are manufactured to SAAMI specs.

Review: Useless tool for consistently finding your jam. - Great for assisting in finding your jam!! Next tension was a little loose but it doesn’t matter. Just remember to use a non metallic rod to push your bullet out of it gets stuck in the lands. Great tool. Ended up drilling and tapping a few cases myself but they all work the same and this is a great buy. Makes for accurate loading and figuring out if your rig likes jump or not.
Review: The starting point for making the most accurate rifle round. - This modified case easily connects to the Hornady overall length gauge and gives me the measurements I need to adjust my bullet seating depth to give me the most beneficial bullet to lands distance. While the groups I was getting were more than adequate enough to get the job done with factory made box ammo, I want to build a reload that is even more accurate. A round that works perfectly for my rifles chamber dimensions. Sure a two inch group is nice at distance, but isn't a one inch group better? Right? With this modified case, a set of dial calipers, a load comparator set body and insert, an overal lenght gauge, and a headspace gauge kit you can measure exactly the chamber of your rifle. Having those measurements allows you to build the perfect round that will work best in that rifle, for that type of bullet. If you switch bullet types and weights, you need to go through this process again to adjust that new type of bullet to your chamber. It sounds like a lot of work? The first time it may take you 10-15 minutes. But once you get the simple technique down and understand each of the steps, it becomes much quicker. I can get all the measurements in under 2 minutes, and that is working at a very leasurely pace and writing down the measurements as I work. It is very simple and the results are you can create a much more accurate round.
