Hornady® reloading dies represent the finest in machined craftsmanship. Precise machining allows accurate reloading by offering easier adjustments, better alignment and smooth functioning. With one of the finest internal finishes in the industry, Hornady® reloading dies provide a lifetime of reloading. They’re so well-crafted that they’re guaranteed never to break or wear out from normal use. The Hornady® Full-Length Size Die sizes cartridge cases to SAAMI minimum specifications and features an Elliptical Expander that is superior to “ball expanders”.
This Hornady® exclusive provides extremely smooth neck sizing and significantly reduces friction and case neck stretch. Internal threading prevents it from pulling loose and the elliptical expander eliminates the need for a separate expander die for necking-up to the next caliber. The Elliptical Expander and headed decap pin are mated to a Zip Spindle™, which is a feature on all Custom Grade™ full length size dies.
The Zip Spindle™ positively locks to eliminate slippage. A series of light threads cut on both the spindle and spindle lock allows incremental adjustments by turning the spindle or it can easily “zip” up or down for larger movements. The internal die profile is precision machined and polished to a smooth finish for reliable functioning without case sticking or excessive friction. This die comes with a Hornady® Sure-Loc™ lock ring that clamps around the entire die body applying constant pressure to hold the ring in place.
The locking screw tightens the ring without coming into contact with the threads, and the incorporated wrench flats allow easy removal or replacement of the die and eliminates possible damage from pliers.
