Description

Hornady OAL Gauge Modified Case 6.5x55 B65X55

These enclosures have been customized specifically for use with Lock-N-Load Precision gauges. Attaching them to the gauges with a particularly fine thread ensures that they remain square for exact alignment in the chamber of your rifle. Second, the case's neck is completely spherical and slightly opened to allow a standard-diameter bullet to easily and concentrically glide into the case's mouth, ensuring the most precise results conceivable.

Features:

➼ Achieve precise seating depth
➼ Threaded at the case head for use with Hornady OAL Gauge
➼ Neck is oversized by .002" to accept the same bullet you intend to load
➼ Manufactured to SAAMI Specifications
➼ Made in the USA
➼ Sport type: Shooting
