Regulating seating depth and the resulting "jump" to the rifling is widely regarded as fundamental to improved accuracy. A few thousandths of an inch change between the bullet and the rifling can make the difference between average accuracy and real tack‑driver performance.

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gage is one of the best kept secrets to accurate reloading. This tool allows reloaders to quickly and easily determine the "proper" bullet seating depth in their firearm by accurately measuring their rifles freebore. By having an accurate measurement of freebore reloaders can significantly improve their rifles accuracy by tailoring their bullet seating depth to their rifle. A few thousandths of an inch change between the bullet and the rifling can make the difference between just so-so accuracy and that tack-driver performance that leads to bug-hole groups. To use the Lock-N-Load Overall Length Gage Hornady caliber-specific Overall Length Gages are required for use (sold separately). These Overall Length Gages are made for all common cases from the 17 Remington to the 500 Nitro Express and are oversized to accept the same bullets your reloading.

  1. Set up your reloading bench where it (and stored components) will not be exposed to heat, sparks or flame.
  2. Establish a comfortable loading procedure and don't vary it.
  3. Keep your reloading bench, equipment and area clean and uncluttered. Label components and reloads for safe, easy identification. Never use powder from an unlabelled tin.
  4. Understand what you are doing and why it must be done in a specific way.
  5. Follow loading recommendations exactly. Don't substitute components for those listed in metallic data without reducing the load and working back up.
  6. Never substitute smokeless powder for black powder or Pyrodex because smokeless powder is much more powerful than black powder. Never mix two powders together.
  7. Wear safety glasses.

  9. Don't smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs while reloading or while in your reloading area.
