Special Features

• The A222 modified case is specially prepared with a threaded case head so it screws into Hornady O.A.L. Gauges and stays aligned while you move the bullet into contact with the rifling.
• The neck is rounded and opened slightly oversize so a standard diameter bullet slips into the case mouth easily but stays centered for accurate readings.
• Hornady builds the A222 case to SAAMI specifications, giving you a measurement baseline that reflects a true 222 Remington chamber instead of a generic test piece.
• Interchangeable modified cases such as the A222 let you use the same Hornady O.A.L. Gauge body across many calibers by simply swapping cases.
• The standard length profile matches regular 222 Rem brass, which helps your gauge setup mirror live ammunition geometry at the shoulder and neck.

Practical Benefits

• The Hornady Lock-N-Load Modified Case 222 Remington (A222) gives you a repeatable way to find the cartridge length that fits your rifle’s freebore so you can tune seating depth for accuracy rather than guessing from manual data.
• Because this A222 case works with compatible Hornady O.A.L. and Precision Gauges, it fits many bolt action and other 222 Rem rifles that accept the tool, which lets you standardize your process across multiple guns in the same caliber.
• The brass construction and oversize neck let you test with the same bullets you plan to load, so the distance to the lands you measure translates cleanly to your seating die setup.
• If you reload 222 Remington for varmint, target, or general field rifles, the Hornady Lock-N-Load Modified Case 222 Remington (A222) is a practical choice that helps your handloads match your specific chamber rather than a one size fits all length
