Special Features

• The Elliptical Expander delivers smoother neck sizing than standard ball expanders, reducing friction and case neck stretch on 6.5 PRC brass across multiple reloading cycles.
• The Zip Spindle uses a series of light threads on both the spindle and collet to positively eliminate slippage, making seating depth adjustments fast, incremental, and repeatable without excessive lock-down force.
• The inline floating alignment sleeve in the seating die holds the bullet, case neck, and seating stem in perfect alignment before the bullet enters the case neck, reducing runout and improving the concentricity that drives tighter groups at long range.
• The built-in roll crimp in the seating die secures the bullet without a separate crimping die or extra press pass, saving a station on turret and progressive presses.
• Sure-Loc rings clamp around the entire die body under constant pressure, protecting die threads and holding position through long loading sessions without creeping.

Practical Benefits

• Full length sizing returns cases to SAAMI minimum dimensions, making these dies ideal for bolt rifles running mixed brass and for any shooter who does not dedicate cases to a single chamber.
• The 6.5 PRC is one of the most widely adopted long-range hunting and precision rifle competition cartridges in production today, and quality handloads built on this die set let you push its flat trajectory and high BC bullet capability further than factory ammunition.
• The 7/8 by 14 thread fits virtually every single-stage, turret, and progressive press on the market, making this set a direct addition to your existing bench without adapters.
• The Elliptical Expander and inline seating system together reduce the velocity spread and concentricity variation that produce vertical dispersion at the distances where 6.5 PRC handloads are most often tested.
• If you load for a 6.5 PRC rifle and want a die set built to match the accuracy potential of that cartridge, the Hornady Custom Grade 2-Die Set (546281) gives you that precision with a no-risk lifetime guarantee behind every set.

The Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension 2-Die Set (546281) for 6.5 PRC is a reliable pick for precision rifle reloaders and long-range hunters who want consistent full length sizing, reduced case neck stretch, and American-made durability in a press-compatible package.
