The Hornady Bullet Comparator Insert #30, .308/7.62/8MM (Hornady part no. 830) is a caliber-specific insert for the Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator, giving handloaders a repeatable way to measure a bullet’s length from the ogive rather than from the tip, where shape and finish vary round to round. Swap this insert into the Comparator body and it seats around the .308/7.62/8MM bullet’s ogive, so you can track seating depth and cartridge overall length with real precision instead of guessing from tip length alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the Comparator body to use this? Yes, this insert installs into the Hornady Lock-N-Load Bullet Comparator body, which is sold separately.

Why measure from the ogive instead of the bullet tip? Bullet tips vary slightly from piece to piece, but the ogive is a consistent reference point, so measuring there gives a repeatable seating-depth and overall-length reading.
