Hornady 546289 Custom Grade 2-Die Set 6.5 Creedmoor Sizing Seater

The Hornady 546289 Custom Grade Series I 2-Die Set delivers precision reloading components specifically engineered for 6.5 Creedmoor cartridges. This professional-grade die set combines advanced metallurgy with tight manufacturing tolerances to produce consistent, match-quality ammunition. Serious handloaders rely on these dies to achieve sub-MOA accuracy in both competition and hunting applications.

What Makes This Different

Custom Grade dies feature Hornady's proprietary hardening process and precision-ground surfaces that maintain dimensional stability through thousands of reloading cycles. Unlike standard die sets that may introduce runout variations, these dies incorporate floating alignment sleeves and precision-machined chambers. The sizing die utilizes a tapered expander ball design that reduces case neck tension variations by 40% compared to conventional expanding systems.

Key Features

• Full-length sizing die with integrated decapping pin for complete case preparation
• Bullet seating die with built-in crimping capability and micrometer adjustments
• Precision-ground steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
• Floating alignment system reduces case runout to under 0.002 inches
• Tapered expander ball minimizes case neck working and extends brass life
• Standard 7/8-14 threads compatible with all major reloading presses
• Includes detailed setup instructions and load data reference card

These dies consistently produce ammunition that groups within 0.5 MOA when paired with quality components and proper technique. The sizing die handles both new and fired brass effectively, while the seating die accommodates bullet weights from 120 to 147 grains without adjustment changes. Temperature variations from -20°F to 120°F do not affect die performance or dimensional consistency.
