The Hornady 545127 Match Grade Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities specifically engineered for 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges. This two-die set produces ammunition that consistently meets match-grade accuracy standards demanded by competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts.
What Makes This Different
Hornady's Match Grade dies feature tighter manufacturing tolerances than standard reloading dies, with concentricity held to within 0.001 inches. The sizing die incorporates an elliptical expander that reduces brass work-hardening while maintaining consistent neck tension. These dies produce ammunition with measurably better concentricity and case-to-case consistency compared to conventional die sets.
Key Features
- Two-die set includes full-length sizing die with decapping pin and bullet seating die
- Elliptical expander reduces case neck stress and extends brass life
- Precision-machined steel construction with hand-polished interior surfaces
- 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
- Zip-Spindle design on seating die ensures smooth, consistent bullet seating
These dies consistently produce match-grade ammunition suitable for long-range competition, precision hunting, and tactical applications. Reloaders report improved group sizes and reduced velocity variations when switching from standard dies to this Match Grade set. The superior concentricity achieved translates directly to enhanced accuracy at extended ranges where ammunition consistency becomes critical.
