Hornady Reloading

Hi I am a reloader from northwestern Canada and I have used Hornady products for reloading bullets for many years. The Hornady one shot spray for shell case lube saves me hours of greasing  and cleaning reloading brass. I have also used the case spray for a water resistant protection for my guns during hunting trips. The one shot worked perfect and with the wax base the product lasted very well.

I have also been reading up on Hornady and they have a product I have been waiting for. It is a bullet seating tool that gets it right. This is one of the critical measurements for accuracy in reloading and has been a battle to get right for a long time. For max accuracy you need consistent bullet position relative to the start of the barrel’s rifling. You can set this by trial and error, but it is much easier (and more repeatable) to use the Hornady O.A.L. Gauge to measure case length with the bullet ogive just touching the lands. When combined with a Bullet Comparator (with caliber-specific insert), you can also very quickly measure case base to ogive for any loaded round.

This is a great find and I have been watching for a long time to find such a product and it is no surprise it is made by Hornady, they have been on the cutting edge for many great improvements in reloading. For precision reloading this measure tool is a must. I have spent hours trying to smoke bullets and chamber and check rounds just to get the distance perfect. What you need is an exact measurement from the base of the brass to where the lead first touches the lands of the rifling. You can try different settings for best accuracy in your rounds, but I have found right to within a few thousands of a inch works best. This is the name of the product and you can Google up the reviews by typing it to Google and just write review after it. This is what I did and all the reviews were great or five stars.

I have been reading the seventh edition of the Hornady reloading manual that is out and getting great reviews. I have heard from the guys shooting the older ww2 army rifles say they were more than happy about finding all the new stuff on their calibers. They are also hoping the other reloading manuals will follow suit. I think they are anxious to get reloading bullets .
