Hornady 546548 Custom Grade Series II 3-Die Set 44 Rem Mag/44 S&W

The Hornady 546548 Custom Grade Series II 3-Die Set delivers precision reloading capabilities for both 44 Remington Magnum and 44 S&W Special cartridges. This complete die set provides the essential tools needed to produce consistent, accurate ammunition with professional-grade results.

What Makes This Different

Custom Grade Series II dies feature Hornady's advanced manufacturing tolerances held to ±0.0005 inches, significantly tighter than standard production dies. The Zip Spindle design with Sure-Loc lock rings eliminates the need for wrenches during adjustment, allowing precise seating depth changes in 0.001-inch increments. Heat-treated steel construction ensures dimensional stability through thousands of loading cycles.

Key Features

• Complete 3-die set includes full-length sizer, bullet seater, and expander die
• Compatible with both 44 Remington Magnum and 44 S&W Special cartridges
• Sure-Loc lock rings with Zip Spindle for tool-free adjustments
• Elliptical expander reduces case neck tension variations by 50%
• Titanium nitride coating on sizer die reduces friction and wear

These dies consistently produce ammunition suitable for hunting applications where shot placement matters most, as well as competitive shooting where velocity consistency directly impacts scores. The precision manufacturing eliminates common issues like case head separation and inconsistent bullet seating depth that plague standard die sets. Temperature variations from -20°F to 150°F have minimal effect on die dimensions due to the stress-relieved steel construction.
