Horn Full Length Two Die Set - 22 Hornet Reloading Kit
The Hornady Full Length Two Die Set for 22 Hornet gives reloaders a straightforward, reliable setup for precision ammunition assembly. This two-die configuration includes a full length size die and a bullet seating die—the essentials for handloaders who want quality brass preparation and consistent bullet seating without the complexity or expense of a larger die collection. Whether you're working up loads for varmint hunting or fine-tuning factory ammunition performance, this set is built on Hornady's reputation for durable, well-engineered reloading tools.
The size die features Hornady's Zip Spindle Design, which locks firmly to your reloading press and eliminates the slippage that can creep in with less secure fastening systems. Fine threads on both spindle and collet let you make precise micro-adjustments or larger travel changes by simply turning or zipping the spindle—no fiddling with separate components. The die body is precision machined and polished to a smooth internal profile that lets cases move through without sticking or excessive friction, a detail that matters more than it sounds when you're processing dozens or hundreds of rounds. Hornady's Sure-Loc lock ring grips the entire circumference of the die, distributing clamping pressure evenly across the threads and holding everything solid without needing a wrench on the threads themselves.
The seating die brings Hornady's in-line bullet seating system to bear. Before the bullet ever touches the case neck, the cartridge, bullet, and seating stem are held in perfect alignment within the die's floating sleeve—this alignment sleeve keeps bullets centered as they enter, which translates directly to repeatable seating depth and better accuracy. A built-in crimper eliminates the need for a separate crimp die, letting you set up your press more efficiently. The seater adjustment screw makes it straightforward to dial in your exact seating depth, and a retaining ring locks the internal components in place while allowing quick disassembly for cleaning.
Hornady backs this set with a no-risk lifetime warranty against breakage or wear during normal use. The dies arrive in a compartmentalized box designed for organized storage of your dies, bushings, and shell holders—a small convenience that keeps your reloading bench tidy.
