Hornady Match Grade Die Set 260 Remington 2-Die Precision Reloading

The Hornady 545124 Match Grade Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities specifically engineered for 260 Remington cartridges. This two-die set produces match-quality ammunition that meets the exacting standards of competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts.

What Makes This Different

Hornady's Match Grade dies feature tighter manufacturing tolerances than standard reloading dies, with bore dimensions held to ±0.0005 inches. The sizing die incorporates a floating carbide expander ball that reduces case neck runout to less than 0.002 inches. Internal components are precision-machined from hardened steel and hand-polished to eliminate tool marks that can transfer to brass cases.

Key Features

• Full-length sizing die with carbide expander ball for consistent neck tension
• Bullet seating die with micrometer adjustment for precise seating depth control
• Hardened steel construction with hand-polished internal surfaces
• Elliptical expander reduces case neck stretching and work hardening
• Sure-Loc lock rings prevent die movement during operation
• Compatible with all standard 7/8-14 thread reloading presses
• Includes detailed reloading instructions and load data reference

The sizing die returns fired cases to SAAMI specifications while the seating die provides repeatable bullet placement within 0.001 inches. Match Grade tolerances ensure consistent chamber fit and optimal accuracy potential across multiple firings. These dies handle both hunting and match bullets from 120 to 147 grains, accommodating popular projectiles like Berger VLD, Sierra MatchKing, and Hornady ELD Match bullets.
