Hornady 260 Remington Full Length Sizing Die

The Hornady 260 Remington full length sizing die is the workhorse of any serious reloader's press setup. Built from select heat-treated steel, this die is engineered to handle thousands of reload cycles without wear or degradation—Hornady backs that durability with a guarantee against breakage under normal use. Whether you're prepping virgin brass, once-fired range pickups, or reclaimed military cases, a full length sizing die ensures consistent case dimensions and reliable feeding in your rifle.

The 260 Remington full length sizing die features Hornady's Zip Spindle system, which holds the decap spindle in a lightly threaded collet. This design makes it straightforward to adjust and center the spindle precisely within the die for uniform primer pocket clearing. The decap pin itself is headed steel—tough enough to punch out primers from crimped military brass without bending or breaking. The expander ball is oversized, smooth, and threaded with an elliptical profile that minimizes case neck stretching and prevents the expander from backing out during the sizing stroke. That means you can neck up cases in this die alone, without needing a separate expander die.

Like all Hornady dies, this 260 Remington sizing die ships with a double-flat die lock ring already installed, so you can mount it and start work immediately. The protective plastic storage box keeps the die safe between loading sessions. Hornady's three-tier die lineup offers equal construction and quality across all price points—this full length sizing die performs the same as higher-priced models because the engineering and steel are the same.
