Special Features

• The Elliptical Expander delivers smoother neck sizing than standard ball expanders, reducing friction and case neck stretch on large-capacity belted Weatherby brass that reloaders depend on through multiple loading 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 and repeatable without heavy 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 at the extended ranges the 270 Weatherby Magnum is built for.
• 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 reliably through long loading sessions.

Practical Benefits

• Full length sizing returns cases to SAAMI minimum dimensions, making these dies the correct choice for bolt rifles running mixed Weatherby brass and for any shooter not dedicating cases to a single chamber.
• The 270 Weatherby Magnum drives .277 caliber bullets to velocities that exceed standard 270 Winchester loads by several hundred feet per second, making it a proven choice for deer, elk, and open-country big game hunting where flat trajectory and retained energy at distance are the priority, and handloads built on this die set let you reach the full potential of that case capacity.
• The 7/8 by 14 thread fits virtually every single-stage, turret, and progressive press on the market, making this a direct addition to your existing bench without adapters.
• The Elliptical Expander and inline seating system work together to reduce velocity spread and concentricity variation that produce vertical dispersion at the long distances where Weatherby magnums are most often pushed.
• If you handload for a 270 Weatherby Magnum and want a die set built to the standard that cartridge demands, the Hornady Custom Grade 2-Die Set (546298) delivers that precision with a no-risk lifetime guarantee behind every set.

The Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension 2-Die Set (546298) for 270 Weatherby Magnum is a confidence building choice for big game hunters and rifle reloaders who want consistent full length sizing, reduced belted magnum brass stretch, and American-made durability in a standard press-compatible package.
