The Hornady Series I 2-Die Rifle Set is a paragon of precision and durability, designed with the discerning shooter in mind. This set is tailored for the .300 PRC caliber, featuring a bullet diameter of .308 inches. The hallmark of this die set is its Zip Spindle design, which ensures a precise fit by locking securely to eliminate any slippage during operation.
Constructed from robust carbide material, these dies are engineered to withstand rigorous use without breaking or wearing out under normal conditions—a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship. The two-die configuration includes both a size die and a bullet seater die, addressing all necessary functions for effective reloading.
An innovative feature of this set is the elliptical expander. Unlike traditional ball expanders that can increase friction and cause case neck stretch, this exclusive Hornady design offers smooth neck sizing while reducing friction significantly. Consequently, it negates the need for an additional expander die when necking-up to larger calibers.
The internal profile of each die is machined and polished meticulously to provide reliable functioning without excessive friction or case sticking—an essential characteristic for seamless reloading operations. Furthermore, Hornady's Sure-Loc lock rings apply constant pressure across threads thanks to wrench flats that facilitate easy adjustment while preventing thread damage from tools like pliers.
This rifle die set also boasts user-friendly maintenance features such as quick disassembly facilitated by locking retainer springs that remove effortlessly for cleaning purposes. Locking screws remain free from threading interference due to strategic placement within the assembly.
Note: A shell holder is not included with this set.
