Description

Special Features
The A280 modified case uses a fine threaded case head so it screws securely into Hornady gauges and stays aligned while you move the bullet up to the lands.
The slightly oversize neck lets a 7mm bullet slip into the case mouth easily while maintaining light grip for smooth, repeatable movement during length checks.
Hornady builds the A280 to SAAMI specifications, giving you a chamber-realistic baseline for 280 Remington instead of a generic test body.
Interchangeable A Series modified cases like the A280 let you use one Hornady gauge body across many calibers by swapping cases.
