The Hornady 044097 Bullet Seating Micrometer transforms standard seating dies into precision instruments capable of consistent bullet seating depth adjustments. This universal micrometer attachment eliminates guesswork in cartridge assembly, delivering repeatable results that competitive shooters and precision reloaders demand.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic seating dies that require trial-and-error adjustments, this micrometer provides exact depth control with clearly marked graduations. The system allows reloaders to record precise settings for different bullet weights and profiles, then return to those exact measurements instantly. Standard seating dies often produce variations of 0.005" or more between rounds, while this micrometer maintains consistency within 0.001".

Key Features

  • Universal compatibility with all Hornady seating dies across rifle and pistol calibers
  • Precision-machined threads with 0.001" per graduation markings
  • High-visibility red and silver finish for easy reading under loading bench lighting
  • Positive click adjustments prevent accidental setting changes during use
  • Removable design allows quick conversion between standard and micrometer operation
  • Hardened steel construction resists wear from repeated adjustments
  • Numbered scale eliminates need for measuring tools or guesswork
Competitive benchrest shooters rely on this level of consistency to achieve sub-MOA groups at extended ranges. The micrometer proves equally valuable for hunters developing precision loads for long-range shots, where bullet seating depth directly affects accuracy and velocity consistency. Match shooters can quickly adjust seating depth to optimize performance with different bullet lots without losing their baseline settings.
