The Hornady 546533 Custom Grade Series II 3-Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities for both 40 S&W and 10mm Auto cartridges. This comprehensive die set eliminates the guesswork from handloading by providing consistent case preparation and bullet seating through engineered tolerances.
What Makes This Different
Custom Grade Series II dies feature hardened steel construction with precision-machined surfaces that maintain dimensional consistency across thousands of reloading cycles. The elliptical expander reduces case neck tension variations by 50% compared to standard ball expanders, while the sliding sleeve seater prevents bullet deformation during the seating process. Each die undergoes individual inspection to ensure concentricity within 0.001 inches.Key Features
