Hornady Full Length Two-Die Set for 223 WSSM Reloading
- Caliber-Gauge:
- 223 Winchester Super Short Magnum
The Hornady Full Length Two-Die Set for 223 WSSM gives reloaders a complete sizing and seating solution built on Hornady's proven die engineering. This two-die set pairs a full-length sizing die with a bullet seater die, delivering the precision and consistency you need whether you're loading match ammo for the range or hunting rounds for the field. The 223 WSSM is a flat-shooting cartridge that rewards careful handloading, and these dies are engineered to help you get the most from it.
What sets Hornady's approach apart is attention to detail in the smaller things that add up to reliable, repeatable results. The sizing die uses their Zip Spindle design with fine-pitch threading that lets you make precise incremental adjustments or quick larger changes without fussing. The Sure-Loc lock ring clamps the entire circumference of the die to hold your settings rock-solid, and the internal profile is polished smooth to minimize case sticking and friction. The elliptical expander smooths the neck sizing process and cuts down on case neck stretch—a real advantage when you're working with quality brass and want consistent case life.
The seating die puts bullets exactly where they need to be. The in-line bullet seating system aligns the bullet in its sleeve before it enters the case neck, using a floating bullet alignment sleeve and floating steel seating stem to hold everything true. You get a built-in crimper as well, so you can finish the job without adding a separate station to your press. The seater adjustment screw makes it easy to dial in your preferred seating depth, and a retaining ring holds everything together until you need to take it apart for cleaning.
Both dies ship in a compartmentalized storage box designed to keep your equipment organized. Hornady backs the set with a lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship.
