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
