Hornady 397132 ELD-X Bullet Seating Stems .284 7mm Caliber

The Hornady 397132 ELD-X Bullet Seating Stems deliver precise bullet alignment and consistent seating depth for .284/7mm caliber cartridges. These precision-machined stems eliminate bullet tip deformation during the reloading process, ensuring optimal ballistic performance and accuracy downrange.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic seating stems that can compress or damage bullet tips, the Hornady ELD-X stems feature a contoured seating surface that matches the specific ogive profile of ELD-X bullets. This design maintains the bullet's aerodynamic integrity while providing repeatable seating depths within 0.001 inches. The stems work exclusively with Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension dies to maximize concentricity and reduce runout.
