Hornady match dies with micrometer adjustment - Hornady Match Grade 2-Dies Set

Hornady match dies come equipped with a micrometer adjustment which is not shown in the Optics Planet web page. the dies are well worth the money. The eliptical expander requires much less force to resize the neck than a standard ball which is also included in the kit. this was my first die with a bushing and it takes some research to determine which and how many to order. Forester supplies three appropriate bushings with their neck bushing dies and Hornady probably should too for the un-initiated. I was reloading for a 6.5 Creedmoor and selected .289, .290 and .291. Two were from RCBS (they are interchangable) and one from Hornady. Reding and Wilson bushings also reportedly fit the Hornady dies but not Forester which are longer. The micrometer adjustment is not as easy to read as a Forester but is very precise and comes with two stems, one for the popular Hornady ELD-M ogive and another standard one. the stems are not identified however but trying them soon sorted that out. And yes, you really can adjust to the 1/1000 of an inch, though on longer OCL oyu will have to unscrew the seating die quite a long ways. the match bushing dies are a baby step toward precision reloading. It offers precise seating depth and a variety of neck tensions but you will still need other tools to determine shoulder bump, neck thickness, a mandral press and die for really precise neck tension, and a neck turning tool and concentricity gauge for benchrest quality ammo.
