Special Features
- The Zip Spindle design positively locks to eliminate spindle slippage and allows fast tool-free incremental adjustments, removing the guesswork and frustration of conventional spindle lock systems
- The Elliptical Expander delivers smoother neck sizing with less friction and reduced case neck stretch than standard ball expanders, which is especially valuable when working with 300 Savage brass that can be difficult to source and should be preserved across as many loading cycles as possible
- The In-line Bullet Seating System aligns the bullet, case neck, and seating stem inside a floating sleeve before the bullet enters the case neck, producing consistent seating depth across every round in a batch
- The built-in roll crimper on the seating die is a useful feature for Savage 99 lever-action owners where magazine spring pressure makes a firm crimp important for reliable feeding and consistent ignition
- Sure-Loc lock rings clamp around the entire die body with constant pressure, keeping the locking screw off the threads to protect both die and ring from contact damage
- Hornady guarantees these dies will never break or wear out from normal use
Practical Benefits
- The full-length sizing die makes this set the right choice for reloaders working with mixed headstamp brass or cases that need sizing to minimum spec for reliable bolt or lever closure in original 300 Savage actions
- Hunters and vintage rifle owners who carry a Savage 99 or other 300 Savage chambered rifle for deer and woodland game will find that handloading with this die set produces more consistent results than relying on increasingly scarce factory loads
- The Series III designation reflects the specialized nature of the 300 Savage, and this die set gives those rifle owners the same Custom Grade precision available to shooters of modern mainstream calibers
- Your brass will load more smoothly and last longer with the hand-polished interior finish and Elliptical Expander reducing friction and neck stress on every pass through the sizing die
The Hornady Custom Grade Series III Full Length 2-Die Set (546348) in 300 Savage is a confident choice for any handloader dedicated to building accurate, dependable ammunition for a classic American sporting cartridge.
