Featuring a durable aluminum red housing and a threaded design for custom chamber fit with Modified Cases, it supports bolt-action and single-shot firearms. Trusted by professionals and backed by a lifetime warranty, this gauge is essential for reloaders seeking consistent, tack-driver performance. ## Description One of the best kept secrets in accurate reloading is precise bullet seating depth. Regulating seating depth and the resulting "jump" to the rifling is widely regarded as fundamental to improved accuracy. A few thousandths of an inch change between the bullet and the rifling can make the difference between average accuracy and real tack-driver performance. For all bolt-action and single-shot firearms, or any firearm with straight-line access to the chamber. ## Features - Regulates seating depth and the resulting "jump" to the rifling - Increases accuracy - Red housing tube is made of aluminum - You will need a Modified Case (sold separately) to fit your firearm's chamber and thread it onto the gauge ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000PD01SI | | Best Sellers Rank | #85,191 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #321 in Gunsmithing Tools | | Brand Name | Hornady | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,364) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00090255704006 | | Included Components | OAL Gauge | | Item Dimensions | 17 x 5 x 2 inches | | Item Type Name | Hornady, Lock-N-Load OAL Gauge, Straight | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Hornady | | Model | C1000 | | Part Number | C1000 | | Thread Style | Unc | | UPC | 090255704006 | | Unit Count | 1.00 Ounce | | Warranty Description | No-Risk, Lifetime Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hornady - **Item Weight:** 0.01 Ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 17 x 5 x 2 inches - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Thread Type:** Unc ## Images ![Hornady C1000 Lock-N-Load OAL Length Gauge (Straight),Metal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/415LK4UoUjL.jpg) ![Hornady C1000 Lock-N-Load OAL Length Gauge (Straight),Metal - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41BPsMgU0TL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the thread size on the end. I want to use brass fired in my chamber to make my own modified brass** A: The tap is UNS 5/16 - 36. I bought the tap and tried several times. Then I sent in two brass cases (fired in my chamber) of each caliber to Hornady and they made ones that worked. Unless you are a skilled machinist with a lathe or tools to drill the case out perfectly straight, you are wasting your money on a tap. I did not have the proper tools and failed. Hornady charges $35 a case and was quick to get them back to me. **Q: How do you know the bullet is in the same position in the case after you pull it out that it was in while chambered?** A: Once you are comfortable the ogive is making contact with the lands, tighten the thumbscrew on the shaft. The bullet seldom comes out with the case, so locking the shaft allows you to place the bullet back in the case to get your measurement. I hope this helps. **Q: will this work on a Marlin Guide Gun?** A: You have to be able to take the bolt out and get straight access to the chamber so I don't believe it would work on lever guns. However, not sure on your model of lever, if you can get the bolt out then it would work. **Q: Can I tap a piece of brass I have with the hornady β€œstuck vase removal tap”? Will the tap allow case to attach to this tool?** A: I don't have a Hornady stuck case removal tool so I have no idea if the diameter and pitch of the tap is compatible with the lock and load tool threads. But I wanted a couple of different caliber tapped cases for my lock and load and took those caliber brass and the tool to a local machine shop and they made perfectly compatible cases fr me cheaply. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hornady C1000 Lock-N-Load OAL Length Gauge (Straight),Metal - Hornady Lock-N-Load Comparator Body - Hornady A65C Lock-N-Load 6.5 Creedmoor Modified Case --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/6750889-hornady-c1000-lock-n-load-oal-length-gauge-straight-metal](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/6750889-hornady-c1000-lock-n-load-oal-length-gauge-straight-metal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
