The Hornady 380726 Silver Series 22 ARC die set delivers precision reloading capabilities for the increasingly popular 22 ARC cartridge. This two-die set provides handloaders with the essential tools needed to produce consistent, accurate ammunition for bolt-action rifles and AR-15 platforms chambered in 22 ARC.
What Makes This Different
Hornady's Silver Series dies feature stainless steel construction that resists corrosion and maintains dimensional stability over thousands of reloading cycles. The precision-machined chambers ensure consistent case sizing and bullet seating compared to standard carbon steel alternatives. Each die undergoes quality control testing to meet Hornady's exacting tolerances of +/- 0.0005 inches.

The 22 ARC cartridge has gained significant traction among precision rifle competitors and hunters seeking extended range capabilities in compact platforms. This die set handles both factory brass and converted cases with equal precision. The stainless steel construction maintains consistent sizing even after processing thousands of cases, while the smooth interior finish reduces case wear during the sizing process.
