Hornady Vernier Ball Micrometer with Round Anvil & Tapered Spindle

Precision reloading demands tools that perform to exacting standards, and the Hornady Vernier Ball Micrometer with Round Anvil & Tapered Spindle is built for that mission. This specialized measuring tool lets you dial in case-neck thickness with the kind of accuracy that separates handloads that perform from those that don't. Whether you're chasing consistency in match ammunition or dialing in hunting loads, having repeatable, precise case-neck measurements is non-negotiable—and that's exactly what this micrometer delivers.

The round anvil and tapered spindle design lets you measure case-neck thickness and diameters up to one inch with 0.0001-inch accuracy. That's the kind of precision reloaders have come to expect from Hornady. A ratchet stop allows you to apply consistent, repeatable pressure during measurement, so you're not guessing at how hard to squeeze. The spindle lock holds your reading in place once you've got it, so you can remove the micrometer and verify the dimension without losing data. The C-frame construction is durable enough for the benchtop, and the baked enamel finish protects against corrosion and wear in a working reloading room.

This isn't a one-off tool—it's a long-term investment in reloading quality. Comes shipped in a protective plastic storage case to keep it safe between sessions.
