Hornady Custom Grade Rifle Dies
The Hornady Custom Grade Rifle Dies stand as a testament to precision engineering and thoughtful design, embodying the ethos of efficiency and reliability that is paramount in reloading. At the heart of these dies lies the innovative Zip-Spindle™ design, ensuring a flawlessly aligned fit that makes spindle-lock tightening an effortless endeavor.
Central to their operation is a sliding alignment sleeve that securely holds both bullet case neck and seating stem prior to loading. This mechanism ensures straight bullet seating every time, eliminating common issues associated with misalignment. The polished elliptical expander further enhances functionality by smoothly releasing from case necks, doing away with the necessity for an additional expander die.
Durability meets versatility in these dies through several key features: an all-steel seater adjustment screw paired with a compression washer allows for precise adjustments without wear over time; Sure-Loc™ rings facilitate easy fine-tuning; and a robust steel decapper adds resilience to frequent use. Moreover, integrated into this system is a built-in crimper—affording you the ability to crimp without requiring another separate die.
Hand-inspected and heat-treated for unmatched strength, each Hornady steel die boasts a hand-polished mirror finish so smooth it will never mar your cases. The rifle dies' elliptical expander significantly reduces friction while minimizing case-neck stretching—a crucial advantage when maintaining brass longevity.
The sliding in-line seating system brings unparalleled accuracy by vertically aligning bullets precisely within the case neck before final seating occurs—ensuring perfect centering consistently across rounds. Each set includes not only full-length sizer dies but also seater dies designed specifically for specialty wildcat calibers among others unique rifle types found within Series IV and V offerings.
- .450 Bushmaster Die Set includes four essential components: full-length sizer die, seater die, taper crimp die (a rarity), plus Lock-N-Load quick change bushings shell holder—all housed neatly inside their own dedicated storage box ready at arm’s reach whenever duty calls upon them next!
