The Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension 2-Die Set, .243 Winchester (brand part no. 546244) is Hornady’s Custom Grade New Dimension Series I 2-die set for .243 Winchester, built around the company’s Zip Spindle sizing die and in-line bullet seating system. The elliptical expander is smoother than a standard ball expander and reduces friction and case-neck stretch during sizing, while the in-line seating system holds the bullet, case neck, and seating stem in alignment before the bullet ever enters the case. A built-in crimper in the seater die saves a press station, and Hornady backs the whole set with a no-risk lifetime warranty.

Key Specifications

• Chambered for .243 Winchester.
• Set includes a full-length size die and a bullet seater die.
• Sizing die uses Hornady’s Zip Spindle design, which locks positively to eliminate slippage while still allowing fine incremental adjustment.
• An elliptical, internally threaded expander replaces a standard ball expander, cutting friction and case-neck stretch during sizing.
• The in-line bullet seating system aligns the bullet, case neck, and seating stem before the bullet enters the case for more consistent seating.
• A built-in crimper in the seater die lets you crimp without giving up a station on your press for a separate crimp die.
• Hornady’s Sure-Loc lock rings clamp around the full die body, so the locking screw never contacts the threads.
• Ships in a compartmentalized die box that keeps dies, bushings, and shell holders organized.
• Backed by Hornady’s no-risk lifetime warranty.
