Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension Nitride 3-Die Set

As the owner of this set, I am confident I am going to be pleased with the bullet seater, which seats and crimps 327 loads in one simple step. We were particularly glad to discover a die set to expand to the exact degree of expanding that allows a bullet to be seated with minimal effort. Both dies are terrific. only not great is the cartridge sizing die that resizes a cartridge TOO AGGRESSIVELY. Instead of getting close to them, I came close to them. When it is resized to 337 specifications, it becomes You don't see that as an issue, do you? The Hornady Support team does not believe They told me the following after I contacted them via their website to ask for warranty support. A number within the range of -334 It is irrelevant to amend Saami tolerance in relation to published specification, i. e. they aren't required to do so. I am fine with that As a result, I now know what Hornady thinks of the ACCURACY of its Comparing this experience to one I had with Lee is a good way to describe it. In a similar way I noticed a difference with my Lee a few months ago. My measurements were recorded on a sizer 45 which I sent along with an explanation of how they were taken. Service was performed on the sizer and it was brought in In less than a week from shipping the unit to them, they returned the unit with a note that described As Lee has come through with regards to their dies before, this is not the first time. It is evident to me which company stands behind their products and knows their customers best. I will keep the Hornady die set only because the seater and expander dies are really great, and I will probably purchase a Lee sizer as a backup if I ever need it. It is worth noting that there are similar reviews posted here on Amazon that should be of interest to folks who expect more from Hornady in terms of accuracy with the If I had read it before I chose to buy the 327 Hornady set, I'm not so sure I would have believed I would be experiencing the same problem. Even so, getting VALIDATION from another re- has to be a good thing I'm not the only one experiencing problems with my loader.

Hornady dies are terrific, so I won't go on and on about them. The majority of people should be able to use these without any issues. Reloading is something I have been doing for years and I have used Redding dies most times, but I didn't want to pay the high dollar price to reload 223 for my AR and now I When loading heavier bullets with compressed loads, I noticed that the seating die was deforming the tips of the As soon as the seating force reaches maximum, the 69 grain SMK, the 70 grain Nosler RDF, and the 75 grain Hornady BTHP will become deformed. In order to match the load with my ballistic reticle, I need to be at near maximum lead and this manifests itself in decreased The stem will be used for larger bullets, based on what I understand.

Currently in the process of ordering the stem, I'll upload results with the new stem on 6/27/18. The following has been updated For seating larger bullets, I purchased an extended stem that fits 80 grains. I did not see any difference when I used it. My bullets seated in the chamber were still deformed unless I dialed back my charge by a considerable amount. It was certainly disappointing to learn that these dies could not seat without damaging the bullet, particularly given that 26 grains of powder I was using was widely regarded as a safe load. The ammunition I used was Sierra Match Kings 69 grain, Hornady 223 brass, CCI #400 primers, and 26 grains of extra soft lead. A total of 0 grains of target. The dies along with the stem were returned, and I bought a set of dies from Redding as a result. By loading the cartridges through the Redding dies, a 100% improvement was achieved. Bullets came out of my AR in good condition and I shot some impressive groups out of it. A shot group at 100 yards and a shot group at 50 yards would look like 5 shots in one ragged hole. We are shooting at 200 yards in 2 inch groups. Lastly, I would like to say that I think these Hornady dies will work perfectly well for loading 65 grain Game King bullets and anything lighter. If you wish to load precision ammo with a heavier bullet that will give you the maximum accuracy potential at longer ranges, I strongly suggest that.

Typically, when you buy a three die set, you get three dies a sizing / de priming, a seating, and a crimping As an alternative, this set comes with a belling die with built-in crimp that can be altered to fit. It is not clear what they mean. The act of seating and crimping in the same die annoys me. It is not as accurate to do the 2 procedures in one session as it is to do them My Lee Crimper broke, so I bought a new one. Instead of buying a Lee set, I should have just bought a Lee set from the beginning.

For hornady dies, I have to give it 5 stars because they are great and for used products, they still look like I chose "used" instead of "new" under the 9mm makarov die option. I find it funny that they are listed as 40/10mm dies but they are not listed under the 40/10mm drop down menu There was no doubt in my mind that I would keep her. You can either do it or not. There is a lesson to be learned if you see a cheap die set that may not be the one you are looking for. the item to cart and check to see if it is different. Amazon had this in their warehouse, so they deserved the boo.

It seems that my bullet seating stem has a problem with the 44 Magnum die, the 9mm RCBS die, the Dillon 10/40 die, and the 45 ACP Redding die. There is only 1 stem on the end of it, and with FP bullets it puts a ring and crushes the bullet to a certain extent. After buying the HORNADY SET, I was blown away by the result. A flat seater is on one end of the stem for FPs and an open style for RN bullets on the other. A major component of the bullet guide is the 1" drop before it goes into the die, which is used to align the projectile with the I like these dies the best out of all the ones I own. It's also a must have if you operate a PROGRESSIVE PRESS is the HORNADY BULLET FEEDER it's awesome and even without a tube to put extra 20-micron bullets By putting 30 bullets in there, it sets the bullet where it must be, and if it is set correctly, it sets it just enough so it does What an amazing experience. It is great that I do not have to spend $300+ on an electric bullet feeder. I already have $800 to spend on the automatic case feeder with my Dillon 650.

With this set, I encountered a problem. Initially, I had no problems with the resizing/decapping die. However, as soon as I expanded the case sufficiently to supply a cast bullet, I found that the case would hang up on the sliding sleeve of the seat-crimp My first set of dies from Hornady, so it might have been me who malfunctioned. The set is returned and I receive a RCBS set which is good.
