Hornady 545151 Match Grade Die Set 7mm PRC Precision Reloading

The Hornady 545151 Match Grade Die Set delivers precision ammunition manufacturing for the 7mm PRC cartridge. Engineered for competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts, this two-die set produces ammunition with consistent case dimensions and optimal bullet seating depth control.

What Makes This Different

Hornady's Match Grade dies feature tighter manufacturing tolerances than standard reloading dies, typically holding dimensions within 0.0005 inches. The full-length sizing die includes an elliptical expander that reduces case neck runout while maintaining proper neck tension. Unlike basic die sets, these dies incorporate hardened steel construction with precision-ground internal surfaces for consistent case forming across thousands of reloading cycles.

Key Features

• Full-length sizing die with elliptical expander reduces case neck runout
• Micrometer seating die allows 0.001-inch bullet depth adjustments
• Heat-treated steel construction rated for 10,000+ sizing operations
• Precision-ground internal dimensions maintain consistent case headspace
• Standard 7/8-14 threading fits all major reloading presses
• Includes shell holder and detailed setup instructions
• Compatible with all 7mm PRC brass manufacturers

Match-grade ammunition requires consistent case preparation and precise bullet seating. The micrometer seating die enables shooters to adjust overall cartridge length in precise increments, critical for optimizing accuracy in bolt-action precision rifles. The sizing die's elliptical expander minimizes brass work hardening while ensuring proper bullet grip. Competition shooters report improved ammunition consistency when switching from standard dies to this Match Grade set.
