Redding Competition Bullet Seating Die .17 Hornet Product description

  1. Superior Precision: This die features a micrometer-adjustable seating stem that allows for exact bullet depth adjustments in 0.001-inch increments. This level of control ensures unparalleled consistency in overall cartridge length (OAL), critical for achieving maximum accuracy in competition or hunting scenarios.

  2. Competition-Grade Design: Engineered without a crimp function, this die is specifically designed to seat bullets without deforming the case mouth. This preserves case integrity and bullet concentricity, making it an excellent choice for crafting highly accurate ammunition.

  3. Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, stress-relieved steel, the die body is precision CNC-machined for exceptional durability and tight tolerances. Internal surfaces are meticulously polished to prevent scratching bullet surfaces and ensure smooth operation.

  4. Enhanced Concentricity: The unique Redding Competition seating die design incorporates a sliding alignment sleeve that holds the bullet and case in perfect alignment during the seating process. This minimizes bullet runout and optimizes concentricity, leading to more consistent and accurate shots.

ABOUT THE REDDING COMPETITION BULLET SEATING DIE .17 HORNET

The Redding Competition Bullet Seating Die for the .17 Hornet stands out from conventional seating dies due to its unparalleled focus on precision and concentricity. This specialized die features a micrometer-adjustable seating stem, allowing reloaders to fine-tune bullet seating depth in increments as small as 0.001 inches. This meticulous control is crucial for optimizing accuracy and maximizing performance, particularly for competitive shooters and discerning hunters. Unlike standard dies, its non-crimping design ensures that bullets are seated without deforming the case mouth, preserving brass integrity and bullet concentricity. Crafted from precision CNC-machined, stress-relieved steel, with meticulously polished internal surfaces, this die delivers consistent, high-quality reloads, reducing bullet runout and enhancing shot-to-shot consistency. It is the ideal tool for demanding reloaders seeking to produce bench-rest quality ammunition for small-bore varmint hunting or precision target shooting.
