The Hornady 546442 Custom Grade Series III 2-Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities specifically engineered for the 8.6 Blackout cartridge. This professional-grade die set combines Hornady's advanced manufacturing tolerances with heat-treated steel construction to produce consistent, accurate ammunition. Reloaders gain complete control over cartridge dimensions and powder charges for optimal performance in both subsonic and supersonic applications.
What Makes This Different
The Series III design incorporates Hornady's Zip Spindle technology, allowing rapid die adjustments without losing zero settings. Unlike standard die sets that require complete recalibration after changes, this system maintains precise headspace measurements through multiple adjustment cycles. The sizing die features an elliptical expander that reduces case neck tension variations by 50% compared to conventional round expanders, resulting in more uniform bullet seating pressure.Key Features
