This die set includes Full Length Sizer, Expander Die, and a Taper/Crimp Seating Die. The Full Length Die now features a Zip Spindle with a series of light threads cut on the spindle and spindle collet to eliminate slippage and make it easier to tighten the spindle lock when making incremental adjustments. Die set comes packaged in a plastic storage box with Four Sure-Loc rings. Shell holder is sold separately. 

Full-Length Sizing Die:

• A feature on all full length size dies, the Zip Spindle™ positively locks to eliminate slippage. A series of light threads cut on both the spindle and spindle collet allows incremental adjustments by turning the spindle or it can easily “zip” up or down for larger movements.
• The Hornady Sure-Loc™ lock rings clamp around the entire die applying constant pressure to hold the ring in place. The locking screw tightens the ring without coming into contact with the threads, eliminating possible damage from pliers.
• The Hornady Sure-Loc™ lock rings clamp around the entire die applying constant pressure to hold the ring in place. The locking screw tightens the ring without coming into contact with the threads, eliminating possible damage from pliers.
• 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.

Standard Expanding Die:

• These dies put a consistent slight "bell" or flare on straight-walled rifle or pistol case mouths. They prepare the case so powder and bullet insertion are smoother.
• The Hornady Sure-Loc™ lock rings clamp around the entire die applying constant pressure to hold the ring in place. The locking screw tightens the ring without coming into contact with the threads, eliminating possible damage from pliers.

Taper Crimp/Seating Die:

• The intuitive design of the die allows seating and taper crimping to be completed in one step, eliminating the need for a separate taper crimp die. Available in 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 Auto.
• Seater adjustment screw easily adjusts for bullet seating depths.
• Compression Lock o-ring provides the necessary tension to make fine adjustments easier, and keep the die set in place.
• Taper Crimp Adjustment Screw easily adjusts amount of crimp on the cartridge without changing bullet seating depth or loosening the lock ring.
• The Hornady Sure-Loc™ lock rings clamp around the entire die applying constant pressure to hold the ring in place. The locking screw tightens the ring without coming into contact with the threads, eliminating possible damage from pliers.
• In-Line Bullet Seating System holds the bullet, the case neck and the seating stem in perfect alignment in the sleeve BEFORE the bullet enters the neck of the case. The system includes a floating bullet alignment sleeve, a floating steel seating stem and a built-in crimper for benchrest precision. Bullets are aligned in the sleeve as they enter the die for optimum seating and enhanced accuracy.
