Bullet Comparator Inserts are made to work with the Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator, which removes variables when measuring a bullet's overall length. Due to material variations and tip quality, bullet length can vary by a few thousandths.
The Bullet Comparator Inserts from Lock-N-Load allow the reloader to measure the bullet from the base to a precise point on the ogive that has a little variance, if any. This adaptable approach also allows reloaders to check the total length of their reloads in a more consistent manner, allowing them to integrate more precision into their handloads, resulting in greater groups at the range and more meat in the freezer.
Q: Does this measure overall length (COAL)?
No. It measures base-to-ogive length, which is more precise for reloading consistency.
Q: Do I need other parts to use it?
Yes. You’ll need:
Q: Why measure from the ogive instead of the tip?

Q: Is it caliber-specific?
Yes. This insert is specifically for .17 caliber bullets.
Q: Can it improve accuracy?
Indirectly, yes—by ensuring consistent seating depth, which is critical for precision shooting.
