The Hornady Custom Grade 044103 is a .243 Winchester bullet seating die engineered for precision reloading. The die features an in-line bullet seating sleeve that properly aligns bullets in the cartridge before any pressure is applied, paired with a simple seating adjustment screw for the seating stem. The system includes a floating bullet alignment sleeve, a floating steel seating stem and a built-in crimper for benchrest precision, with bullets aligned in the sleeve as they enter the die for optimum seating and enhanced accuracy.
The built-in, optional-use roll or taper crimp feature allows you to crimp at the same time that you seat the bullet, or apply no crimp at all with a simple adjustment. Hornady Sure-Loc lock rings clamp around the entire die applying constant pressure across the threads to hold the ring in place, with the locking screw tightening the ring without ever coming into contact with the threads, eliminating possible damage from pliers. Easy maintenance is achieved with a simple retaining ring that is easy to remove for thorough cleaning with no special tools required.
Hornady is one of the most respected names in ammunition and continues to innovate and improve their products, with improvements made every year and included in all newly manufactured dies—feature highlights include the all-new Zip-Spindle design, Sure-Loc rings, an elliptical expander, and highly polished interiors.
