The Hornady Lock-N-Load Cartridge Gauge in 300 PRC is an essential quality-control tool for handloaders who want to verify their finished rounds will chamber reliably in SAAMI-spec firearms. Whether you're developing a new load or validating production, this cartridge gauge gives you quick, repeatable feedback on case and ammunition fit before rounds hit the range or field. Built with Hornady's characteristic durability and ease of use, the Lock-N-Load system lets you catch potential issues early and reload with confidence.
Chambering a round that doesn't fit precisely wastes components, risks feeding failures, and can create pressure problems. This dedicated 300 PRC gauge eliminates guesswork by providing a go/no-go check that mimics the chamber dimensions of a properly-spec'd rifle. It's the kind of small investment that pays dividends over the life of a serious reloading operation, especially if you're producing ammunition for multiple firearms or load variants.
The silver finish on Model 380722 is durable and easy to keep clean during your bench sessions. If you're running a tight quality-control process—whether that's precision rifle loads, hunting ammunition, or match-grade cartridges—this gauge belongs in your reloading kit alongside your calipers and case prep tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a cartridge gauge do?
A cartridge gauge lets you check whether a finished round or empty case will fit in a SAAMI-spec chamber. You insert the round into the gauge; if it fits without binding, it's dimensionally correct. It's a quick quality-control step that catches sizing, seating, or case-prep errors before they become firing problems.
Is this gauge caliber-specific?
Yes. This is a 300 PRC gauge and is designed only for 300 PRC ammunition and cases. You'll need a separate gauge for other calibers in your reloading lineup.
Will this work with the Lock-N-Load reloading press?
The Lock-N-Load Cartridge Gauge is part of Hornady's modular reloading system and is compatible with other Lock-N-Load equipment, but it's a standalone inspection tool that doesn't mount to the press.
