    I laughed when you mentioned the extra seating stem for VLD bullets hidden under the foam... I have owned my Custom Grade dies for 2 years, and never knew that... I ordered a new seating stem like a month ago! Guess I have an extra now

    So where is this full length match die video? I've searched both youtube and your site and I can't find it. I have the FL match grade die in 6.5 Creedmoor.

    Question: Do i need one or more of the Hornady 594264 Bushings for the HORNADY 594264 .264 BUSHING F. .6MM PPC DIE SET?
    You show 3 pieces - but you use 1.

    i followed the exact process and the headspace never changed at all. to the point that without a shell in the press the shellholder started actually touching the die. im reloading 338 lapua

    Can you use the match grade dies without the bushing in the devapping andnresizing die or do you have to have the bushing in order to make this die work properly?

    • @hornady
      @hornady  Год назад +1

      You have to have the bushing to get proper neck tension

    @hornady so do I need the bushings in order to set up the die? I am completely new to this

      Yes, we have a video on determining which bushing you will need as well.

    Hello Friend; I liked your video, very good to be able to reduce the case to the optimal measure. I got the attention the press you use, what's your name? Serves with the new dimension?

      same here. I'm a bit pissed of that I'm sitting here trying to figure out what bushings I need to order when I should be sizing 338 Lapua brass. What is also shitty is that when you buy the comparator set they don't include that anvil base that is really needed to use the comparator set. The little anvil base which probably cost $3 or less to make they charge $15 for. Total rip off, and enough to make me question whether I'll buy another die set from Hornady. I'd rather they had raised the price some and included the REQUIRED parts. Assholes!

    • @jglaze6822
      @jglaze6822 4 года назад +2

      @aaronb2245 you can actually but the comparator set with or without the anvil base. I bough the set with the base. Some people already had it from buying the ogive measuring set that is mentioned in the video. So, I can see why they would sell it with or without.

      I only want to load shells, not work on the space shuttle. I load with RCBS dies and get same hole groups when the rifle is capable. I wasn't expecting to have to take a college course just to load ammo

    • @hornady

      The process would be same, but easier. With Custom Grade, there is no bushing to set specific neck tension.

      suggestion, could you group all your how to setup's into a playlist.
      ie how to take you've bought all this stuff into a set of steps of how to set it up to be able to reload...
      i can imagine the match grade being better, i got custom grade and I've bought the micrometer for the seating die... and a mandrel expander. also got a separate decap die.

      @TomO-gb5ip 4 года назад

      Theoretically no it shouldn't matter if it's repeatable, and it wouldn't for FL sizing. But if you're seating multiple bullets with slightly varying neck tension it could cause different seating depths.

      Jay, you may need to bring the die down a bit more in the press. Our presses and many others can handle about 1/2 turn extra of cam over. Thanks!

    What am I missing here? You keep referring to your measurement as "3.552" or 3.something what is that? you're getting 3.552"? The case is no where near 3inches long. The reading should be 1.552 shouldn't it?

    • @and1globetrot00
      @and1globetrot00 4 года назад +3

      The extra 2 inches come from the comparator shown in the video. Did u watch it? He could've zeroed it but the initial number is irrelevant

    @Aaronb2245 4 года назад +2

    How about include with the instructs the bushing sizes needs for the cartridge a person buys the dies for. Or better yet how about include all the required parts. Very shitty of Hornady! Just as shitty as ordering a comparator seat and not having the anvil base included, and charging another $15 for a part that likely cost less that $1-3 bucks to make. INCLUDE THE REQUIRED PARTS WITH YOUR KITS! Next time I'll buy parts from someone who knows how to do business!

      J Glaze I got it all sorted it out shortly after posting that comment. I still think they bushing are way over priced and should all be include. That said you do only need a few of them to get it done. Just hate being buckle and dimed.
