The Hornady 397139 A-Tip Match bullet seating stems are precision reloading components designed specifically for shooters and handloaders working with Hornady's advanced A-Tip match bullets in 6mm calibers. If you're building match-grade ammunition and want to seat A-Tip bullets with the consistency and care they demand, these replacement stems fit Hornady Custom Grade Dies and are machined to the exact profile of A-Tip projectiles, ensuring reliable, repeatable seating without risk of bullet deformation.
Precision bullet seating is where mediocre loads separate from competition-grade ammunition. A-Tip bullets are engineered for exceptional ballistic performance, but that performance depends on proper seating depth and runout. Hornady engineered these stems to seat A-Tip projectiles safely and consistently—the custom geometry prevents the bullet nose from being compressed or marred during the seating stroke, which can happen with generic seating dies. If you're already invested in Hornady Custom Grade Dies and want to transition from conventional bullets to A-Tip match ammunition, these stems are the right move.
These stems are purpose-built for Hornady Custom Grade Dies and are not compatible with other manufacturers' die systems. Whether you're loading for a precision rifle competition, long-range hunting validation, or bench rest work, the A-Tip Match seating stems give you the control and repeatability serious handloaders expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these seating stems work with my current reloading dies?
These stems are designed exclusively for Hornady Custom Grade Dies and are not compatible with other manufacturers' die systems. If you're using a different brand or die type, these will not fit.
What makes these stems different from standard seating stems?
They are machined to the exact profile of A-Tip bullets, which have a distinctive nose geometry. The custom fit prevents the bullet from being compressed or marred during seating, preserving the integrity of the projectile and ensuring consistent performance.
Can I use these to seat conventional bullets or other match bullets?
These stems are engineered specifically for A-Tip bullets. Using them with other bullet types may result in improper seating or bullet damage. Use the appropriate seating stem for the bullet type you're loading.
Do I need to replace my entire die set to use A-Tip bullets?
No. If you already own Hornady Custom Grade Dies, you only need to replace the seating stem with this A-Tip-specific component. The rest of your die set remains in use.
