Hornady® Custom Grade™ Dies

• Hand-inspected for consistency
• Elliptical expander reduces friction
• Sliding in-line seating for perfect centering
• Hand-polished mirror finish

These dies sport a slippage-eliminating Zip-Spindle™ design for a perfectly aligned fit and easy spindle-lock tightening. A sliding alignment sleeve holds the bullet, case neck and seating stem before loading for straight bullet seating. Polished elliptical expander smoothly releases from case necks and eliminates the need for a separate expander die. Wear-reducing, all-steel seater adjustment screw with a compression washer for fine adjustments. Retainer ring for easy cleaning. Sure-Loc™ rings make fine-tuning easy. Sturdy steel decapper. Built-in crimper gives you the ability to crimp without a separate crimping die. Hornady steel dies are hand-inspected and heat-treated for durability and strength. Their hand-polished mirror finish results in dies so smooth they will never scratch a case. Rifle dies feature an elliptical expander that reduces friction and case-neck stretching. A sliding in-line seating system vertically aligns each bullet with the case neck for perfect centering. Most of our pistol dies feature a titanium nitride “gold ring” finish that’s harder than carbide and doesn’t require lubrication. Storage box included for storing fully adjusted dies, Lock-N-Load quick change die bushings, shell holder and a taper crimp die.
