Hornady Custom Grade Series I 2-Die Set for 30-06 Springfield - Includes Sizing & Seater Dies (Model 546340)

The Hornady Custom Grade Series I 2-Die Set for 30-06 Springfield gives you the core dies needed to reload rifle ammunition with precision and reliability. This two-die set includes a full-length sizing die and a bullet seater die—everything required to resize fired brass and seat bullets to exact specifications. Built with Hornady's proven design features and backed by a lifetime warranty, it's a solid choice for hunters and target shooters who want consistent, accurate loads without buying unnecessary components.

What sets these dies apart is the engineering underneath. The sizing die uses Hornady's Zip Spindle Design to lock securely in place and eliminate slippage, with fine and coarse adjustment threads for precise neck sizing. The elliptical expander—a Hornady exclusive—reduces friction and case neck stretch compared to traditional ball expanders, delivering smoother operation and less wear on your brass. The Sure-Loc lock ring applies constant pressure across the entire die thread, holding it firm without relying on pliers that risk damage.

The seater die incorporates an in-line bullet seating system that aligns the bullet and case in perfect position before the bullet contacts the neck, promoting benchrest-level accuracy. A built-in crimper lets you apply a crimp without a separate die, saving space on your press. The seater adjustment screw makes it easy to dial in the exact depth you need, and the retainer ring removes in seconds for cleaning and maintenance.

Both dies come in Hornady's compartmentalized storage boxes, clearly labeled and stackable—keeping your reloading setup organized. If you're working up loads for a bolt-action hunting rifle or a semi-automatic plinker, this set gives you the precision tools to produce reliable, repeatable ammunition.
