Most Helpful Positive Review Great seating die.
This die, coupled with the microjust seating stem, work wonderfully. I get all my bullets seated dead on where I want them every time now. Just back off .005 each time you seat a bullet, seat, measure, adjust, then seat, and done. I also like that I can use the same die to seat 260 rem., and 6.5 creedmoor.

No more finger bites!

by Palmer, Verified Owner from ME, United States Written on October 18, 2023
I have the 38 caliber .057” seating die #044145 and love it. I use it for my 9mm rounds as well as jacketed 38 bullets.
Bullet alignment is perfect as advertised which is a great reason to use these. I don’t need to manually align the bullet so I’m not getting bit by the press anymore.
This die came with a flat nose seating stem and a round nose seating stem. Adjusting seating depth is simple and the locknut provides a solid fix against the rubber washer with no tools required. There is no backlash in the seating depth adjustment screw after you snug down the locknut. This particular die does not crimp.
In addition to the 38 seating die, I have the Hornady seat and crimp dies for 10mm/40 cal and 30-30 Winchester. They are both fantastic. They all came with spare clips so I am impressed.
No more seating does from the Cheapie guys for me.
Pros:
  • Price
  • Quality
  • accuracy
  • Finish
  • Setup and easy to use
Cons:
  • Not for lead bullets
Best Used for:
  • Jacketed bullets

Great Bullet Seater at a Great Price

by John, from OH, United States Written on June 21, 2023
Just what I needed, Hornady is the best mid-price seater there is, only Forster is better for precision low runout rounds for the next price point. I am supposed to write more to be at least 200 words.
Pros:
  • Quality
  • Cost, qu
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Reloading

Great 6.5 Seating Die

by L Braz, from TX, United States Written on April 24, 2021
I use Hornady Custom dies for both of my Target Rifles. This die came with an extra insert for ELD-Match 6.5 MM target bullets, which prevents bullet damage when seating long Ogive target bullets. Very happy with this purchase! Braz
Pros:
  • Extra insert
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Reloading all calibers

Nice straight seating

by Burl, from GA, United States Written on March 21, 2021
This die was easy to set and produced real consistent results. I liked it better than many of my old standard seating dies. Some of the old ones did not guide the bullets and swelled the case when doing a slight crimp.

Best Seating Dies

by Sly, from UT, United States Written on May 21, 2020
I have found that Hornady has the best seating dies I have used. I have used other dies and had COL that vary as much as +/- .010 inches, with this die I have COL's of less than +/-.003. If you are looking to keep your COL consistent, this is the die you want to use.
Pros:
  • Consistancy
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Any caliber
Would recommend: Yes
