Using own brass for Hornady lock n load

[rharfo]

What company (s) will tap your brass for use with the Hornady lock and load gauge?
I've found Copper Creek does but I know I found others in the past. Now I can't find them via google. Any reviews are appreciated.
Thanks

Search on LRH. There are instructions on doing it yourself (if you want to go that route).

A local machinist will be able to do that likity split. Take the gage with you so he can measure the thread pitch and hole size. Seriously, a five minute job.

it's a letter size drill bit , "L" . the tap is a 5/16 - 36 . it's a very easy job .

Yes it easy if you have the correct equipment. If you drill just a little off center and tap you will get incorrect readings using the "Lock & Load"
Also YES EASY to drill off center.
If you want to DYI I can help you out with some suggestions. If you don't have the proper equipment we would be glad to help you out also with drilling & tapping your fireformed/de-primed brass - at no charge.
Let's just say Jill & I are always trying to help out fellow shooters and "Pay it Forward".
Just PM us.
We have done this many times for ourselves and for friends.

i dont really see a point with these tools ..following erosion maybe .. once you have a full head spaced shouldered peice of brass that is sized to match your chamber. make a dummy with it and keep seating deeper till you bolt closes like ya did to find the max 0 bumped crush fit shoulder
