Hornady Lock-N-Load 220 Swift Modified Case (A220) is a specially prepared brass 220 Swift case designed to thread onto the Hornady Lock-N-Load O.A.L. Gauge so you can measure true chamber-specific bullet seating depth and jump to the rifling. This Hornady A220 modified case uses a threaded case head and a slightly oversized neck to hold the same bullets you intend to load, giving accurate, repeatable measurements in 220 Swift rifles.
Key Features

Special Features
- Threaded case head ensures a secure, coaxial connection between the modified case and the O.A.L. Gauge, which helps maintain alignment in the chamber.
- Oversized neck allows you to insert and adjust the actual bullet you plan to load, instead of a generic probe, for true-to-rifle seating depth readings.
- Manufactured to SAAMI 220 Swift dimensions so the case fits properly in standard 220 Swift chambers while you measure.
- Purpose-built design avoids damage to your regular brass and simplifies the process of finding lands contact and preferred bullet jump for your rifle.
Practical Benefits
