Hornady 397130 ELD Match Bullet Seating Stems 6.5mm 147gr

The Hornady 397130 ELD Match Bullet Seating Stems ensure precise bullet seating for 6.5mm 147-grain ELD Match projectiles. These precision-machined stems eliminate bullet deformation during the seating process, maintaining the aerodynamic integrity critical for long-range accuracy. Manufactured to exact tolerances, they provide consistent seating depth shot after shot.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic seating stems that can deform bullet tips, the Hornady 397130 features a contoured interior profile specifically designed for the ELD Match bullet's polymer tip and boat-tail geometry. The stem's precise machining prevents tip damage that can reduce ballistic coefficient by up to 15%. Standard stems often create inconsistent seating depths, while this dedicated stem maintains uniform bullet positioning within 0.001 inches.

Key Features

• Precision-machined for 6.5mm 147-grain ELD Match bullets exclusively
• Contoured interior profile prevents polymer tip deformation
• Maintains ballistic coefficient integrity for maximum downrange performance
• Compatible with Hornady Lock-N-Load AP and Classic presses
• Hardened steel construction resists wear after thousands of rounds
• Exact dimensional tolerances ensure consistent seating depth

Competitive shooters loading match ammunition demand consistency measured in thousandths of an inch. This seating stem delivers that precision by eliminating variables that affect bullet flight characteristics. The specialized geometry accommodates the ELD Match bullet's unique profile without compromising the polymer tip that contributes to its superior ballistic coefficient. Weather conditions and temperature variations won't affect the stem's performance, ensuring reliable results across different shooting environments.
