Product Overview
The Hornady Lock‑N‑Load O.A.L. Gauge (Curved) is purpose‑built for reloaders who need precise bullet‑to‑rifling measurements in rifles where straight‑line chamber access isn’t possible. Its curved body allows the gauge to enter the chamber through the ejection port, making it ideal for semi‑autos, lever‑actions, pump‑actions, and tight‑access bolt‑actions. When paired with a Hornady Modified Case (sold separately), it provides accurate, repeatable data for fine‑tuning bullet seating depth and controlling jump to the lands. This design solves a common problem: many rifle actions physically block the use of a straight gauge. The curved HC1550 bypasses these obstructions while maintaining alignment and measurement consistency. For reloaders chasing maximum accuracy, especially in rifles with non‑traditional receiver geometry, this gauge opens the door to proper chamber‑specific load development. Built from durable anodised aluminium with a smooth‑tracking internal rod, the HC1550 delivers reliable performance for hunters, long‑range shooters, and precision reloaders across Australia.
