How To Use the Hornady OAL Gauge To Load More Consistent Ammo
This guide details how to use the Hornady OAL Gauge and Bullet Comparator to achieve precise bullet seating depths for improved ammunition accuracy. The process involves measuring the distance to the rifling lands and then setting the bullet seating die to achieve a desired distance off the lands, typically between 0.020" and 0.040". This technique is crucial for handloaders seeking to maximize consistency and accuracy in their reloaded ammunition.
