Lock-N-Load® 17-22 Rim Thickness Gauge

Item #RF17

Sorting ammo by rim thickness will provide ammo with similar ignition qualities for improved accuracy.

This proven technique is used by competitive shooters and varmint hunters.

The rimfire gauge attaches to your caliper and includes bushings for use with most (not compatible with 17 WSM) .17 and .22 caliber rimfire ammo.

How Lock-N-Load® Works

The Hornady® Lock-N-Load® System is as Easy as 1-2-3
Insert the Lock-N-Load® die bushing into the press bushing and lock it into place with a twist. The six locking lugs on the die and press bushings will hold it securely in position.
Insert your standard die with 7/8"-14 threads into the Lock-N-Load® bushing.
Adjust the die to the proper position and lock your setting into the place with Hornady's unique Sure-Loc lock ring.

To change calibers, simply twist the die counterclockwise, remove die and insert your next preset Lock-N-Load® die and bushing. Because they remain locked in their Lock-N-Load® bushings, your dies will remain exactly as you set them. The positive locking action of the Lock-N-Load® bushings holds the dies in rock solid, perfect alignment.

Once you try Lock-N-Load® from Hornady®, you'll NEVER want to go back to your old system!
