The Hornady Full Length Two-Die Set for .222 Remington is built for handloaders who want precision and reliability in a compact, two-station setup. This set includes a full-length sizing die and a bullet seater die—everything you need to reload .222 Remington rifle rounds on a single-stage or progressive press. Hornady's engineering focuses on smooth operation and consistent results, backed by a lifetime warranty against breakage or wear under normal use.
The sizing die features Hornady's Zip Spindle Design, a locking mechanism that prevents the spindle from slipping during adjustment. Fine threads on both the spindle and its collet let you make small incremental adjustments or larger movements quickly. The internal profile is precision-machined and polished to reduce friction and case sticking—a detail that matters when you're loading hundreds of rounds. The elliptical expander (an exclusive Hornady feature) delivers smoother neck sizing than traditional ball expanders, with less friction and reduced case neck stretch.
The seater die uses Hornady's In-Line Bullet Seating System, which aligns the bullet and case neck before the bullet enters the case itself. A floating alignment sleeve and steel seating stem keep everything in perfect alignment for benchrest-level precision. The die also includes a built-in crimper, so you can crimp as you seat without dedicating a separate station—a time-saver on progressive loaders or a practical option for single-stage shooters.
Hornady Sure-Loc lock rings hold each die firmly in place using constant thread pressure and a locking screw design that won't damage your dies. The set comes in a labeled, compartmentalized box with space for dies, bushings, and shell holders—organized storage that keeps your reloading bench tidy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dies are included in this .222 Remington set?
You get a full-length sizing die and a bullet seater die. The sizing die sizes and expands the case, while the seater die seats the bullet and offers built-in crimping if needed.
Can I use this set on a progressive press?
Yes. This two-die set is designed to work on single-stage, turret, and progressive presses. On a progressive loader, it will occupy two stations.
Does the built-in crimper mean I don't need a separate crimp die?
Correct. The seater die includes a built-in crimper, so you can crimp as you seat. This saves a station on your press if you're using a progressive loader, though you can skip crimping if your rounds don't need it.
What is the elliptical expander, and how is it different?
Hornady's elliptical expander is designed to provide smoother neck sizing than traditional ball expanders. It reduces friction and case neck stretch during the sizing process, contributing to more consistent reloading results.
