Hornady 545154 Match Grade Die Set .308 Winchester Reloading Dies

The Hornady 545154 Match Grade Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities for .308 Winchester cartridges, engineered to produce ammunition that meets competitive shooting standards. This two-die set incorporates Hornady's advanced manufacturing tolerances to ensure consistent case preparation and bullet seating for enhanced accuracy.

What Makes This Different

Match Grade dies feature tighter manufacturing tolerances than standard reloading dies, typically held to within 0.0005 inches for critical dimensions. The full-length sizing die includes an expander ball made from carbide-tipped steel that maintains consistent neck tension across multiple reloading cycles. Hornady's proprietary Sure-Loc lock rings eliminate die movement during the reloading process, maintaining precise adjustments session after session.
