Modular Headspace Comparator Kit

The Modular Headspace Comparator Kit comes with the following items

Each headspace comparator and bullet insert is machined from 17-4 stainless steel.  This material will prevent the inserts from wearing out over time.   What makes these comparators better from competitors kits, is their ability to maintain consistency in your measurement of either headspace or seating depth.  The comparator bodies are machined to give the inserts a little bit of “play” to ensure everything settles in nice when measuring your ammunition.

Our bullet inserts are machined to the bore diameter of the caliber you are reloading for. For example if you choose a .243″ (6mm) caliber bullet insert your bullet insert will have a .237″ bore hole to match the lands of your barrel.  Each bullet insert has a 3° lead machined into the mouth of your bullet insert to match the o-give of commonly used bullets.

Please Use This Compatibility List To Determine Which Headspace Comparator Is Right For You. The Headspace Comparator Model Is Listed First, The Compatible Cartridge Is Listed After.

4 reviews for Modular Headspace Comparator – Kit

  1. Douglas Griffis (verified owner)

    Five stars so far! Case fit and product finish is second to non. Can’t believe I’m the first to leave a review.

  2. Jonathan Goodman (verified owner)

    The stand and all the components are very nicely machined and finished. All of modular attachments fit very smoothly into both the comparator bodies and the stand spaces. Modular attachments fit very securely and squarely into the comparators. The polish finish on the attachments is extremely nice. The engraving on all the attachments I ordered (the 4 included with this kit, plus 2 I ordered separately) was very nice and done with an identical finish except the “C” datum attachment. The engraving on the “C” datum was a little duller and was a little harder to see under certain light angles; a very very minor issue. Overall, I am much more confident in my measurements now. Both in their accuracy and repeatability. A truely quality product that I truely feel like I can use reliably.

  3. Artin Melik (verified owner)

    I am pleasantly satisfied with this product. The interchangeability of the inserts is awesome. Also, SAC’s customer service is phenomenal. They will be my first stop for any future purchase.

  4. Marc S Migliore (verified owner)

    This comparator kit satisfies my obsession with exact and consistent measurements for precision handloading. The pieces are machining art, and the insert mating tolerances are perfect. There is no spinning case guesswork. Aside from me, it’s also the best looking tool on my reloading bench…..
