The Hornady ELD Match Bullet Seating Stem for 7mm (.284) (part no. 397107) is a replacement seating stem machined to fit Hornady Custom Grade Dies. It is built around ELD Match bullet’s exact ogive shape, so the stem contacts the bullet across a wide, even surface instead of a single point that can deform the tip or crush a polymer tip on impact. That precise fit is what lets handloaders seat ELD Match bullets to a consistent depth, shot after shot. It also works with Hornady’s A-MAX bullets sharing the same ogive. Reloaders running 7mm (.284) through a Custom Grade Die use this exact stem as a replacement or spare part.

Key Specifications

• Designed to fit Hornady Custom Grade Dies only; it is not compatible with other manufacturers’ seating dies.
• Contoured to the bullet’s ogive so seating pressure is spread evenly and doesn’t deform or mark the tip.

• Weighs approximately 0.5 oz shipped, light enough to keep several on the bench or in a range bag.
