DESCRIPTION

17/222 (.172) Series IV Speciality 2 Die Set With Zip Spindle
by HORNADY RELOADING TOOLS


Zip Spindle™ Design
The Zip Spindle™ design on all full length size dies positively locks to eliminate slippage. A series of light threads cut on both the spindle and spindle collet allows you to make incremental adjustments by turning the spindle or you can easily “zip it” up or down for larger movements.

Smooth Finish
Internal die profile is precision machined and polished to a smooth finish that delivers reliable functioning without case sticking or excessive friction.

Lock Rings with Wrench Flats
The Hornady Sure-Loc™ lock rings clamp around the entire die applying constant pressure across the threads to hold the ring in place. The locking screw tightens the ring without ever coming into contact with the threads, eliminating possible damage from pliers.

Elliptical Expander
Superior to “ball expanders,” this Hornady exclusive provides extremely smooth neck sizing and significantly reduces friction and case neck stretch. Internal threading prevents it from pulling loose and the elliptical expander also eliminates the need for a separate expander die for necking-up to the next caliber.

Seater Adjustment Screw
Seater adjustment screw easily adjusts for bullet seating depths.

Retainer Ring
Locking retainer spring removes in seconds for easy disassembly and cleaning of the die.

In-line Bullet Seating System
Our seating system holds the bullet, the case neck and the seating stem in perfect alignment in the sleeve BEFORE the bullet enters the neck of the case. The system includes a floating bullet alignment sleeve, a floating steel seating stem and a built-in crimper for benchrest precision. Bullets are aligned in the sleeve as they enter the die for optimum seating and enhanced accuracy.

Built-in Crimper
The built-in crimper gives you the option of crimping without the need for an extra crimp die thus saving a station on your press.

Easy Access Die Boxes
Every Hornady die set comes in a convenient box that’s compartmentalized for dies, bushings, shell holders and a taper crimp die. Stackable and clearly labeled, they offer an organized and clean approach to storing your dies.

Hornady® reloading dies represent the finest in machined craftsmanship. Precise machining allows accurate reloading by offering easier adjustments, better alignment and smooth functioning. With one of the finest internal finishes in the industry, Hornady® reloading dies provide a lifetime of reloading. They’re so well-crafted that they’re guaranteed never to break or wear out from normal use. The Hornady® Custom Grade™ 2-Die Set consists of a Full-Length Size Die that sizes cartridge cases to SAAMI minimum specifications and features an Elliptical Expander that is superior to “ball expanders”. This Hornady® exclusive provides extremely smooth neck sizing and significantly reduces friction and case neck stretch. Internal threading prevents it from pulling loose and the elliptical expander eliminates the need for a separate expander die for necking-up to the next caliber. The Elliptical Expander and hardened steel Headed Decap Pin are mated to a Zip Spindle™, which is a feature on all Custom Grade™ Full Length Size Dies. The Zip Spindle™ positively locks to eliminate slippage. A series of light threads cut on both the spindle and spindle lock allows incremental adjustments by turning the spindle or it can easily “zip” up or down for larger movements. The internal die profile is precision machined and polished to a smooth finish for reliable functioning without case sticking or excessive friction. The second die in this set is a Seating Die that features an alignment sleeve (comes standard – other manufacturers charge extra for this feature) and a seater adjustment screw with lock ring and rubber washer for necessary tension to make fine bullet seating depth adjustments and works to keep the die set together. Key to the Seating Die is the In-line Bullet Seating System that holds the bullet, the case neck and the seating stem in perfect alignment in the floating sleeve

BEFORE

the bullet enters the neck of the case for optimum seating and enhanced accuracy results. Additionally, this die features a built-in crimper that allows roll crimping without the need for an extra crimp die, saving a step in the process or a station on your press. The Hornady® Seater Die has a retainer ring toward the base of the die that removes in seconds for easy disassembly and cleaning of the die. As with all Hornady® Custom Grade™ die sets, these dies come with Hornady® Sure-Loc™ lock rings that clamp around the entire die body applying constant pressure to hold the ring in place. The locking screw tightens the ring without coming into contact with the threads, and the incorporated wrench flats allow easy removal or replacement of dies and eliminates possible damage from pliers. All Hornady® Custom Grade™ Die Sets are delivered in a stackable Die Storage Box that can also accommodate a shell holder,
