HORNADY A224 224 VALKYRIE LOCK-N-LOAD MODIFIED CASE

The Hornady Lock-N-Load Modified Case 224 Valkyrie (A224) is a brass tool case for precision reloaders who use Hornady O.A.L. and Precision Gauges to set exact bullet seating depth in 224 Valkyrie chambers. This A224 modified case for 224 Valkyrie works with Lock-N-Load gauges so you can match cartridge overall length to your individual rifle instead of relying only on generic book data.

Special Features

• The A224 modified case uses a fine threaded case head that screws securely into Hornady Precision and O.A.L. Gauges so the case stays aligned while you push the bullet to the lands.
• The rounded, slightly opened neck lets a standard diameter bullet slip into the case mouth easily while staying centered, which supports smooth and repeatable movement during length checks.
• Hornady builds the A224 to SAAMI specifications, giving you a realistic 224 Valkyrie chamber baseline instead of a generic test tube or simulated case.
• Interchangeable A Series modified cases like the A224 let you run one Hornady gauge body across multiple calibers by swapping cases, which keeps your tool kit streamlined.
• The standard 224 Valkyrie case profile mirrors live brass geometry at the shoulder and neck so the way the bullet sits during gauging closely matches your loaded ammunition setup.

Practical Benefits

• The Hornady Lock-N-Load Modified Case 224 Valkyrie (A224) gives you a repeatable way to find the cartridge overall length that fits your rifle’s freebore so you can tune seating depth for accuracy rather than guessing from manual recommendations.
• Because the A224 case works with compatible straight and curved Hornady gauges, it fits many 224 Valkyrie rifles that accept the tool and lets you standardize your seating depth process across several guns in this caliber.
• The brass construction and opened neck let you test with the same bullets you plan to load, so the distance to the lands you measure transfers cleanly to your seating die adjustments.
• If you load 224 Valkyrie for long range, varmint, or practical rifles, the Hornady Lock-N-Load Modified Case 224 Valkyrie (A224) is a practical choice that helps your handloads match your chamber and perform the way you built them.
