The Hornady 44-40 Winchester Full Length Sizing Die (Model #046460, .429) is engineered specifically for reloaders working with cast bullets and cowboy action ammunition. The Zip Spindle design on this full length sizing die positively locks to eliminate slippage, with light threads cut on both the spindle and spindle collet allowing incremental adjustments or easy movement for larger adjustments.
Superior to ball expanders, this Hornady exclusive elliptical expander provides extremely smooth neck sizing and significantly reduces friction and case neck stretch. The Hornady Sure-Loc lock rings clamp around the entire die applying constant pressure to hold the ring in place, with the locking screw tightening the ring without coming into contact with the threads and eliminating possible damage from pliers. The straight wall pistol die features a titanium nitride “gold ring” finish that’s harder than carbide and doesn’t require lubrication.
The internal die profile is precision machined and polished to a smooth finish that delivers reliable functioning without case sticking or excessive friction. This full length sizing die has been specially designed for cowboy action and cast bullet reloaders, making it an essential tool for handloaders working with traditional .44-40 Winchester ammunition. Whether you’re loading for competition or casual shooting, this Hornady die provides the precision and durability needed for consistent, quality reloads.
