Why does my case mouth bottom out on the bullet comparator when comparing Base to Ogive?

Answer: The new Hornady Bullet Comparators were designed to optimize comparisons between the base to ogive of bullets. We did design it so that it can also compare base to ogive of cartridges, but do to the large array of different cartridges we were not able to optimize the design to work with all cartridge base to ogive measurements. As a solution, our old bullet comparators are compatible with the Precision Measurement Station. We recommend using these for the cartridges who’s case mouth bottoms out on the comparators included with the Precision Measurement Station.

How do I find what I'm looking for on the Hornady website?

You can search for items in a variety of ways using the search function in the upper right‑hand corner of the website. Click on the icon shaped like a magnifying glass and then type in the search box that appears.

Tips for using the Search feature

Search using the item number (e.g. 8204).

Search by keyword, such as the name of the product – Superformance for instance.

Do an exact phrase search by putting several words in quotation marks, such as "Magnum reloading block".

By adding an asterisk to a search term (such as ELD*), you can find anything from ELD‑X to ELD Match.

Why aren't there more bullets in the Hornady 4DOF database?

Hornady technicians will continue to add Hornady projectiles and other bullet brands to the database. Testing is time‑consuming, but rest assured, there will be more projectiles added to the library.

How do I program my RAPiD Safe wristband to my RAPiD Safe?

The RFID chip in the wristband is located inside the buckle of the bracelet. Locate the red program button on the RAPiD Safe. Press and release the button to begin programming the wristband. The first available program location will begin to blink. Hold the wristband buckle within 1” of the illuminated RFID reader area on the top of the safe lid. If the programming was successful, the safe should beep two times and the available slot should go from blinking to solid red for approximately ten seconds. Verify the wristband is programmed by holding the tag over the RFID reader with the lid open. The motor should cycle after each scan. If the RFID tag does not program into the safe, the program function will time out after ten seconds and the safe will return to normal operation.
