Hornady 546515 Custom Grade Series II 3-Die Set 9mm Luger

The Hornady 546515 Custom Grade Series II 3-Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities for 9mm Luger cartridges with professional-grade consistency. This complete die set includes sizer, seater, and expander dies engineered to meet competitive shooting and high-volume reloading demands. Advanced manufacturing tolerances ensure uniform bullet seating depth and case neck tension across thousands of rounds.

What Makes This Different

Hornady's Custom Grade Series II dies feature titanium nitride coating for extended wear life and reduced friction during the sizing process. The elliptical expander reduces case neck stress compared to standard ball expanders, resulting in longer brass life and improved concentricity. Each die undergoes individual inspection and comes with specific dimensional tolerances rather than production line sampling.

Key Features

• Titanium nitride coated sizing die extends operational life beyond 10,000 rounds
• Elliptical expander minimizes case neck work hardening and splitting
• Micrometer seating die allows 0.001-inch bullet depth adjustments
• 7/8-14 thread pitch fits all standard reloading presses
• Includes Sure-Loc lock rings for consistent die positioning
• Compatible with jacketed, plated, and cast bullets from 90 to 147 grains
• Hardened steel construction with precision ground surfaces

Competitive shooters rely on this die set for match-grade ammunition production where consistency directly impacts scores. The micrometer seating adjustment enables fine-tuning for different bullet profiles without trial-and-error methods. Case life extends significantly due to the controlled sizing process that maintains proper headspace while minimizing brass flow. High-volume reloaders appreciate the smooth operation and reduced case preparation time.
