The Hornady 397110 ELD Match Bullet Seating Stems deliver precision seating for 338 caliber 270-grain ELD Match bullets. These specialized stems eliminate bullet deformation during the seating process, ensuring consistent overall cartridge length and optimal accuracy potential.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic seating stems that contact bullets at random points, the Hornady 397110 features a precision-machined contact surface that matches the specific ogive profile of 270-grain ELD Match bullets. This targeted design prevents bullet tip damage and maintains the aerodynamic integrity that makes ELD Match projectiles capable of sub-MOA accuracy. Standard stems often create inconsistent seating depths due to bullet deformation, while this stem maintains uniform contact pressure across multiple loading sessions.
Key Features
- Precision-machined contact surface matches 270gr ELD Match bullet ogive profile
- Eliminates bullet tip deformation during seating process
- Compatible with Hornady Lock-N-Load AP and Classic presses
- Maintains consistent overall cartridge length within 0.001 inches
