The Hornady ELD-X Seating Stem in .25 cal (part no. 397136) swaps into your existing Hornady Custom-Grade seating die and is machined to match the ogive of Hornady’s ELD-X bullet line, in this case the 110 grain .257 inch weight. A profile-matched stem contacts more of the bullet’s nose than a generic one, so it seats the bullet straight and consistent without deforming the tip or crushing the jacket. This stem is built for Hornady Custom-Grade dies specifically and is not compatible with other manufacturers’ dies, so confirm your die body before ordering.
