Hornady 044244 Custom Grade Bullet Seater Die 6mm ARC Reloading

The Hornady 044244 Custom Grade Seater Die delivers precision bullet seating for 6mm ARC cartridges with micrometer-adjustable depth control. This premium reloading die ensures consistent overall cartridge length and optimal bullet alignment for enhanced accuracy.

What Makes This Different

The Custom Grade series features Hornady's floating bullet guide system that centers bullets perfectly before seating, eliminating runout common in standard seating dies. The micrometer adjustment provides repeatable depth settings in 0.001-inch increments, while the built-in crimping feature allows simultaneous seating and crimping operations. This eliminates the need for separate crimping dies and reduces case handling.

Key Features

• Micrometer seating stem adjusts in precise 0.001-inch increments
• Floating bullet guide centers projectiles for minimal runout
• Built-in roll crimp capability for consistent neck tension
• Hardened steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
• Compatible with all standard 7/8-14 thread reloading presses
• Includes multiple seating stems for different bullet profiles
• Precision-machined threads ensure smooth operation

This seating die maintains cartridge concentricity within 0.002 inches, critical for long-range accuracy with the 6mm ARC's ballistic capabilities. The floating guide system accommodates various bullet shapes from match hollow points to hunting soft points without requiring stem changes. Competitive shooters benefit from the repeatable seating depth adjustments, while hunters appreciate the reliable crimping function that prevents bullet setback during magazine feeding.
