Hornady 544357 Match Grade Neck Size Die .308 Winchester

Bushings Sold Separately

Neck sizing with this die can eliminate problems of excessive head space and align the bullet perfectly with the bore resulting in better accuracy and longer case life. Should only be used for bolt-action rifle cases. Auto-loading lever and pump action rifles usually require full-length resizing.

Before using your new die it must be thoroughly cleaned. A rust preventative is applied at the factory and must be removed before using the die. We recommend Hornady One Shot Cleaner and Dry lube or any commercial solvent will suffice. Before using your new die it must be thoroughly cleaned.

Always lubricate case necks inside and out before attempting to resize.

Remove the expander/Decap Assembly from the die. To adjust your die place a case in the shell holder and raise the ram to full extension. Thread the die in quarter-turn increments each time lowering the ram and inspecting the case neck. Continue to lower the die until the entire neck has been sized. (Note: Do NOT lower the die too far; excessive pressure will cause the case to buckle making it unusable.) When the die is adjusted lock the lock ring against the press and tighten the set screw. Lower the ram and remove the case. Raise the ram to full extension and place the Expander/Decap Assembly back in the die and lower the spindle until the decap pin just sticks approximately 1/32 into the hole in the shell holder. Tighten the Zip Spindle into place and give it a turn to make sure the threads are engaged before tightening the spindle lock.
