Hornady Custom Grade Series II 3-Die Set 40 S&W 10mm Auto 546534

The Hornady Custom Grade Series II 3-Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities for both 40 S&W and 10mm Auto cartridges in one complete package. This professional-grade die set combines advanced manufacturing techniques with heat-treated steel construction to produce ammunition that meets match-grade standards.

What Makes This Different

The Series II design incorporates Hornady's Elliptical Expander technology, which reduces case neck tension variations by up to 50% compared to standard expanders. The sizer die features a floating decapping assembly that automatically centers itself in the case, preventing off-center primer pocket damage. Each die undergoes individual quality inspection and includes precise tolerances held to within 0.0005 inches.

Key Features

• Elliptical Expander reduces bullet pull variation and improves accuracy
• Floating decapping assembly prevents primer pocket damage
• Heat-treated steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
• Taper crimp die provides consistent case mouth dimensions
• Compatible with all major reloading presses with standard 7/8-14 threads
• Includes detailed reloading manual with load data
• Zip-Spindle design allows quick die changes without readjustment

This die set handles the pressure demands of both cartridges effectively, from standard 40 S&W loads at 35,000 PSI to full-power 10mm Auto loads reaching 37,500 PSI. The precision-ground surfaces ensure consistent case dimensions shot after shot. Competition shooters report improved group sizes, while hunters appreciate the reliability in adverse conditions.
