It is the foundation tool for any reloader handloading the \u003cstrong\u003e280 Ackley Improved\u003c\/strong\u003e wildcat, allowing the user to establish a precise, repeatable seating depth for any bullet weight before trimming production brass to match.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eEach modified case is manufactured to \u003cstrong\u003eSAAMI specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e from quality brass with tight wall concentricity and uniform wall thickness. The case head is \u003cstrong\u003ethreaded\u003c\/strong\u003e to accept the Hornady OAL tool, and the \u003cstrong\u003eneck is oversized by .002\"\u003c\/strong\u003e so the modified case functions correctly in the gauge assembly without binding or splitting. Sold as a \u003cstrong\u003esingle case\u003c\/strong\u003e, this component is intended for the reloading bench rather than the firing line.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eTo use, the modified case is threaded onto the OAL gauge and a comparator\/insert is selected for the chosen bullet. The bolt is closed on a fired case to establish the rifle's freebore, then the comparator is trimmed or adjusted to lock in the desired overall length. Production cases are then trimmed to that length, giving the handloader a consistent setup run after run.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornady","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55002830340418,"sku":"107668","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/7921\/5682\/files\/hires_384d12a8-fd1f-4752-9b01-c515dc54f874.png?v=1784546900","url":"https:\/\/centerfiresystems.com\/products\/hornady-lock-n-load-modified-case-280-ackley-improved-brass","provider":"Centerfire Systems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
