The Hornady 397107 ELD Match Bullet Seating Stem delivers precision seating for .284 caliber 7mm bullets in reloading operations. This specialized stem ensures consistent bullet placement and optimal concentricity for match-grade ammunition production.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic seating stems that can deform bullet tips, this Hornady stem features a precision-machined cavity designed specifically for ELD Match and A-Max bullet profiles. The stem's internal geometry matches the bullet's ogive and tip configuration, preventing damage during the seating process. This design maintains the aerodynamic properties that make ELD Match bullets capable of achieving sub-MOA accuracy at extended ranges.
