Precision hand loaders know one of the most crucial elements in loading quality ammunition is tightly controlling seating depth. One of the most effective tools for determining the length of your individual chamber to the lands in your barrel and testing for optimal seating depth in hand loads is an Overall Length Gauge such as the Stony Point OAL gauge or Hornady Lock N Load Overall Length Gauge.
The problem is getting ahold of a modified case to fit your chamber! Hornady offers some cartridge options for modified cases, however not custom fit to your chamber. And if you're using a custom reamer or loading for a wildcat cartridge you're out of luck! The ability to make custom modified cases at home and on demand with the Modified Case Jig is a gamechanger for many reloaders!

FAQs
How does it work?
The Modified Case Jig enables reloaders to easily and quickly make their own modified cases at home with a cordless drill, where a lathe or specialized equipment is otherwise typically needed. See detailed instructions and video tutorial at: www.rytgear.com/instructions
Will this work with my OAL gauge?
The kit is designed to drill and tap a 5/16x36 threaded hole in the primer pocket of once fired cases to fit widely available overall length gauges. This is the standard used in the old Stony Point gauges, Hornady Lock N Load OAL gauge and similar setups.
What type of die does this fit?
The system uses a standard size 7/8x14 thread sizing die to grip the case to be drilled and tapped. This thread size is what the vast majority of RCBS, Redding, Hornady, Lee, and many other reloading presses and dies use. The system is currently not compatible with larger size dies such as 1 1/4x12 used in some larger dies, though if the demand is there, we can certainly make them (hit us up if you're looking!)
How do I remove the case from the die once it's done?
Our tutorial at www.rytgear.com/instructions demonstrates this step. For presses using RCBS style shellholders, you simply install the die in the press, remove the shellholder and raise the ram. Then slide the shellholder into the ram while also sliding it over the head of the case. Once both are engaged, lowering the ram will remove the case from the die. If you're using a press with different shellholders, the process may be different. worst case, the die can be threaded into the press upside down and a small dowel can be used to press upward with the ram into the case and push the case out of the die.
How do I keep the case from spinning in the die?
If the case is spinning in the die, you're likely over-lubed. While lube in sizing operations is ideal, here we want to use the die to grip the case while we're drilling. Removing excess lube from the case AND the die before drilling and tapping will help. Brake cleaner or similar can help to remove residue. It's important not to overtighten the case in the die to the point that it becomes a "stuck case". We're not aiming to resize the brass here, simply hold it. Threading the die into the case jig body until you feel resistance and about a half turn more for a hand tight feel is usually all that is needed.
