The Hornady Reloading Counter Mat (Model 99102) is a protective benchtop mat designed for ammunition handloading, firearm maintenance, and general gunsmithing. Measuring 26 inches (66.04 cm) in length by 17 inches (43.18 cm) in width, it provides a dedicated workstation that shields benches from firearm oils, cleaning solvents, and surface abrasion. The top layer features a printed Hornady bullet reference chart beneath a smooth, non-absorbent plastic laminate, backed by a non-skid neoprene rubber base to prevent movement during use.

Key Features

• Printed Ballistic Reference Guide: Displays detailed Hornady projectile data across the surface, including calibre diameters, bullet weights in grains, ballistic coefficients (BC), sectional densities (SD), and manufacturer part numbers.
• Solvent and Oil Protection: The non-porous, laminated top surface resists penetration from standard firearm cleaning solvents and lubricating oils, allowing for quick wipe-down maintenance.
• Non-Skid Base: Constructed with a textured neoprene rubber under-layer that secures the mat to metal or timber benches, preventing slipping while handling tools and firearm components.
• Workstation Coverage: Offers a 26 x 17-inch working area to contain small parts, brass casings, and maintenance equipment on gunsmithing counters.

Who is the Hornady 99102 Reloading Counter Mat For Gun Cleaning And Maintenance for?

• Handloaders reloading Hornady projectile calibres — requires direct access to printed bullet specifications, ballistic coefficients, sectional densities, and part numbers across a 26 x 17-inch reloading bench cleaning mat without referencing separate external manuals.
• Handgun and stripped rifle action maintenance hobbyists — needs a chemical-resistant, wipe-clean surface bounded to 26 inches (66.04 cm) in length and 17 inches (43.18 cm) in width to contain loose parts, bolts, and solvent drips during firearm disassembly.

Less suitable for: Workstations requiring continuous surface coverage for fully assembled long rifles or shotguns exceeding 26 inches in length, which are better served by dedicated full-length 34-inch to 36-inch rifle cleaning mats.
