Hornady Full-Length 4-Die Set 500 S&W (.500)

Hornady Full-Length 4-Die Set 500 S&W (.500)
Hornady® reloading dies represent the finest in machined craftsmanship. Precise machining allows accurate reloading by offering easier adjustments, better alignment and smooth functioning. With one of the finest internal finishes in the industry, Hornady® reloading dies provide a lifetime of reloading. They’re so well-crafted that they’re guaranteed never to break or wear out from normal use.

The Hornady® Custom Grade™ 4-Die Set consists of a Full-Length Size Die that sizes cartridge cases to SAAMI minimum specifications. The included hardened steel Headed Decap Pin is mated to a Zip Spindle™, which is a feature on all Custom Grade™ full length size dies. The Zip Spindle™ positively locks to eliminate slippage. A series of light threads cut on both the spindle and spindle lock allows incremental adjustments by turning the spindle or it can easily “zip” up or down for larger movements. The internal die profile is precision machined and polished to a smooth finish for reliable functioning without case sticking or excessive friction. This die features a titanium nitride “gold ring” finish that’s harder than carbide and doesn’t require lubrication. The super hard coating is perfect for resizing soft pistol brass and won’t scratch cases. NOTE: For bottleneck or non-nitride ring dies, stop at “friction”.
The second die in this set is a Hornady® Pistol Style Expander die. This die expands the case mouths on straight-walled rifle or pistol cases to achieve proper neck tension on the bullet. In addition it has the ability to put a slight “bell” or flare on the case mouth which prepares the case so powder and bullet insertion are smoother.
The third die in this set is a Seating Die that features an alignment sleeve (comes standard – other manufacturers charge extra for this feature) and a seater adjustment screw with lock ring and rubber washer for necessary tension to make fine bullet seating depth adjustments and works to keep the die set together. Key to the Seating Die is the In-line Bullet Seating System that holds the bullet, the case neck and the seating stem in perfect alignment in the floating sleeve BEFORE the bullet enters the neck of the case for optimum seating and enhanced accuracy results. Additionally, this die features a built-in crimper that allows roll crimping without the need for an extra crimp die, saving a step in the process or a station on your press. The Hornady® Seater Die has a retainer ring toward the base of the die that removes in seconds for easy disassembly and cleaning of the die.
The fourth die in this set is a Hornady® Crimp Die that removes the case mouth flare and provides a heavy crimp on the case and bullet.
As with all Hornady® Custom Grade™ die sets, these dies come with Hornady® Sure-Loc™ lock rings that clamp around the entire die body applying constant pressure to hold the ring in place. The locking screw tightens the ring without coming into contact with the threads, and the incorporated wrench flats allow easy removal or replacement of dies and eliminates possible damage from pliers. All Hornady® Custom Grade™ Grade Die Sets are delivered in a stackable Die Storage Box that can also accommodate a shell holder, Lock-N-Load bushings, powder dies etc.*
