Hornady 22-250 Ackley Improved Custom Grade 2-Die Set Features
Zip Spindle Design
The Zip Spindle design on all Hornady full length size dies positively locks to eliminate any slippage. A series of light threads cut on both the spindle and the spindle collet which allows you to make incremental adjustments by turning the spindle or you can easily “zip it” up or down for larger movements.
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.
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 an elliptical expander eliminates the need for a separate expander die for necking-up to the next caliber.
Smooth Finish
Internal die profile is precision machined and polished to a smooth finish that delivers reliable functioning without case sticking or excessive friction. Hornady pistol dies feature a titanium nitride “gold ring” finish that’s harder than carbide and doesn’t require lubrication. The super hard coating is perfect for resizing pistol brass and won’t scratch your cases.
Hornady Custom Grade 2-Die Sets comes with a No-Risk Lifetime Warranty
How Hornady Lock-N-Load Works
The Hornady Lock-N-Load System is as easy as 1-2-3
- Insert the Hornady Lock-N-Load Die Bushing into the press bushing and lock it into place with a twist. The six locking lugs on the die and press bushings will hold it securely in position
- Insert your standard die with 7/8″-14 threads into the Lock-N-Load bushing
- Adjust the die to the proper position and lock your setting into the place with Hornady’s unique Sure-Loc lock ring
To change calibers, simply twist the die counterclockwise, remove die and insert your next preset Hornady Lock-N-Load die and bushing. Because they remain locked in their Lock-N-Load bushings, your dies will remain exactly as you set them. The positive locking action of the Lock-N-Load bushings holds the dies in rock solid, perfect alignment.
Once you try Lock-N-Load from Hornady, you’ll NEVER want to go back to your old system!
