Hornady Lock-N-Load Modified Case .280 Remington - A280

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Modified Case in .280 Remington is a precision reloading tool designed to work with Hornady's Lock-N-Load Overall Length (OAL) and Precision gauges. This is not a live cartridge - it is a specially prepared brass case that has been modified at the case-head to accept a fine thread so it can be screwed into the gauge body, where it serves as a dedicated platform for measuring and setting bullet seating depth during reloading.

The case features a .002" oversized neck that accepts the same bullets you intend to load, giving reloaders an accurate representation of how a finished round will seat. The flash hole has been cut out and replaced with the threading system used to attach the case to the gauge. Used with the Lock-N-Load OAL or Precision gauge, this modified case allows handloaders to establish proper cartridge overall length, verify neck/bullet-base clearance, and tune ammunition for any rifle chambered in .280 Remington.

Hornady modified cases are sold individually and are available across a wide range of calibers, with the A280 specifically cut for the .280 Remington. Whether you are a competitive shooter, big-game hunter, or handloading enthusiast, this case is an essential accessory for any Hornady Lock-N-Load gauge system.
