Special Features

• The hand polished die interior is guaranteed not to scratch brass, and the smooth surface reduces case friction during sizing for consistent pull through the press across an entire loading session.
• The Elliptical Expander delivers smoother neck sizing than standard ball expanders, reducing friction and case neck stretch to extend 6.5 Creedmoor brass life 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 concentricity round to round.
• The hardened steel headed decap pin resists bending and breakage even when depriming cases with crimped primer pockets, a common issue when processing military-spec or bulk brass.

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 not dedicating cases to a single chamber.
• The 6.5 Creedmoor is the most widely used long-range precision and hunting cartridge in production today, and quality handloads built on this die set let you unlock accuracy potential that factory ammunition rarely reaches.
• The 7/8 by 14 thread fits virtually every single-stage, turret, and progressive press on the market, making this a drop-in addition to your existing reloading bench.
• The polished interior, Elliptical Expander, and inline seating system work together to reduce the case neck friction, velocity spread, and concentricity variation that produce vertical dispersion at long range.
• If you load for a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle and want a die set that delivers consistent, accurate results from your first case to your thousandth, the Hornady Custom Grade 2-Die Set (546289) gives you that reliability with a lifetime guarantee behind it.

The Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension 2-Die Set (546289) for 6.5 Creedmoor is a proven platform for precision rifle reloaders and hunters who want consistent full length sizing, extended brass life, and American-made durability in a standard press-compatible package.
