The Area 419 Zero S-Series 300 PRC sizing die brings serious reloading precision to your bench without the premium price tag. Built on the proven platform that made Area 419's M-Series a standout, this 7/8" die strips away unnecessary bulk while keeping the features that matter: a precision ground expander mandrel, full-length neck-to-extractor sizing, and a hydraulic shoulder pressure relief system that eliminates sticky bolt lift on subsequent firings. If you're loading 300 PRC for a precision rifle or long-range hunting setup, this die delivers the accuracy control and reliability you need.
What sets the S-Series apart is the attention to detail in the fundamentals. The reamer is cut to exacting dimensions for a true size, not a nominal one—that means your brass chambers consistently and your bolt closes smoothly, even on round two. Spring ejection handles spent primers cleanly, and the replaceable steel decapping pins are tough enough for high-volume handloaders. All dies ship with a precision ground expander mandrel set to .002" neck tension (more increments available separately), an Area 419 universal die ring, a spare decapping pin, and the tools you need to install and remove it. Everything is made in America.
These are die-only; you'll pair them with a compatible shellholder from Redding, Hornady, RCBS, or Area 419's modular system. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for competition, hunting, or long-range practice, the Zero S-Series 300 PRC sizing die gives you the control to do it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a shellholder to use this die?
Yes. This is a die-only product. You'll need to pair it with a compatible shellholder from Redding, Hornady, RCBS, or Area 419's modular system. The die does not include one.
What neck tension does it come with?
The die ships with a precision ground expander mandrel set to .002" neck tension. Additional mandrel increments are available separately via Area 419's mandrel kit if you want to adjust tension for different bullet diameters or performance tuning.
How is the hydraulic shoulder pressure relief different from other sizing dies?
The hydraulic pressure relief system reduces the resistance you feel when closing the bolt on sized brass, particularly on the second and subsequent firings. This eliminates the sticky bolt lift that can wear on your rifle's locking lugs and your patience at the bench.
What's included in the package?
You get the die itself, the expander mandrel, an Area 419 universal die ring, a spare decapping pin, and the tools required for installation and removal.
