Hornady Custom Grade Series I 2-Die Set for 220 Swift - Includes Sizing & Seater (Model 546222)

The Hornady Custom Grade Series I 2-Die Set for 220 Swift gives you the core reloading dies needed to reload this classic varmint cartridge with consistent results. This two-die set includes a full-length sizing die and a bullet seater die, built with the precision engineering that's made Hornady a standard in handloading. Whether you're developing loads for prairie dogs, coyotes, or precision rifle competition, this die set is designed to handle the exacting tolerances the 220 Swift demands.

The sizing die uses Hornady's Zip Spindle design, which locks securely to prevent any slippage during use. Fine threads on both spindle and collet let you make micro-adjustments for load development, while the full-length sizing action handles the complete case. The smooth, polished internal die profile minimizes friction and case sticking—critical when you're processing brass repeatedly. Hornady's Sure-Loc lock ring applies even pressure around the entire die's threads and tightens without a wrench making contact with the threads themselves, protecting your investment.

The seater die employs Hornady's in-line bullet seating system, which aligns your bullet and case neck before the bullet enters the die for repeatable, accurate seating depth. A floating alignment sleeve and steel seating stem work together to center every round, and the built-in crimper handles light roll-crimping without requiring a separate station. Depth is adjusted easily via the seater adjustment screw. Both dies come in Hornady's compartmentalized die box, clearly labeled and ready to stay organized on your bench.

Hornady backs this set with a no-risk lifetime warranty against breakage or wear from normal use—a confidence statement in the quality of these dies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What press will this die set fit?

This is a standard 7⁄8-inch-14 threaded die set, which fits all common single-stage, progressive, and turret reloading presses that accept dies in this thread size. Confirm your press uses standard die threads before ordering.

Do I need a separate crimping die?

No. The seater die includes a built-in crimper, so you can perform light roll-crimping without purchasing an additional die. This saves a station on your press if you're using a progressive machine.

What's included in the die box?

The set includes the sizing die, seater die, lock rings, a retainer ring for easy disassembly, and a compartmentalized die box for storage and organization.

Can I adjust seating depth easily?

Yes. The seater die has an adjustment screw specifically for setting bullet seating depth. Hornady's in-line system also ensures bullets are aligned before entering the case neck, promoting consistency across your reloaded rounds.
