Hornady 545160 Match Grade Die Set 300 WSM Precision Reloading

The Hornady 545160 Match Grade Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities specifically engineered for 300 Winchester Short Magnum cartridges. This professional-grade die set produces consistent ammunition that meets match-grade accuracy standards. Competitive shooters and precision reloaders rely on these dies to achieve sub-MOA performance in their custom loads.

What Makes This Different

Match Grade dies feature tighter manufacturing tolerances than standard reloading dies, typically holding dimensions within 0.0005 inches. The elliptical expander reduces case neck runout while the micrometer seating die provides repeatable bullet seating depth adjustments in 0.001-inch increments. These precision features eliminate variables that affect accuracy in factory ammunition.

Key Features

• Full Length Sizing Die with elliptical expander for minimal case neck runout
• Micrometer Competition Seating Die with 0.001-inch depth adjustments
• Titanium Nitride coating resists corrosion and reduces friction
• Match-grade tolerances held to ±0.0005 inches for consistent sizing
• Compatible with standard 7/8-14 thread reloading presses
• Includes lock rings, wrench, and detailed loading data
• Manufactured from hardened steel for extended service life

The 300 WSM's short, fat case design benefits significantly from precision dies that maintain consistent case dimensions. Match shooters report improved accuracy and reduced velocity spreads when using these dies compared to standard sets. The micrometer seating die proves particularly valuable for load development, allowing precise bullet seating depth experimentation. Weather-resistant coatings ensure reliable operation in humid conditions.
