Hornady 30 cal Neck sizer die
I purchased this neck sizer die specifically for my outdated RCBS neck sizer die with worn expander ball. Hornady's elliptical expander replicates those used by bench rest shooters as it sizes both on the insert and exit of the case from the die. If you have any irregular shaped case mouth,this expander spindle will straighter out the eccentricity while using. I find it a little time consuming if used for other .30 caliber change-overs such as .308 and 300 Win as you have to dismantle the setting in order to accommodate longer or shorter cases. I'm not a fan of Hornady's "Zip Spindle" system as it requires 3 tools to properly tighten the zip knob or the spindle will slip if the nut is not squeezed tight enough against the interrupted threaded nut. A second necessary wrench absolutely is Hornady's New Dimension red die wrench for this propriatory flatted die lock ring also available from Amazon. I lock the flatted die ring and die into my press,then finally tighten the small zip spindle nut using my Hornady wrench. The new dimension lock rings are great as the tightening screw impinges the 7/8-14 die threads at a tangent to the threads thus not marring the steel threads as most setscrews do. I like this die except for the time consuming zip spindle locking system.

Typical Hornady quality -- AWESOME
I use nothing but Hornady dies. I've used RCBS, Lyman, Lee, and Hornady. All are competitively priced but the Hornady are the best in my estimation. All are of excellent build quality but Hornady has the best design features. Their decapping and expander spindle operates smoothly and is easy to adjust and stays put. The seating die is exceptional with it's floating neck alignment bushing. Superb adjustment ring with hex key lock screw. (Redding was not mentioned here because they are in a league of their own in excellence BUT also in PRICE)

For the Accuracy Gurus only
Using top tier brass, fire-formed to my chamber, I only need to size the neck enough to tension the new bullet. Then, trim the case to spec and now have a round that is custom fit to my rifle. Invaluable if you save your brass and reload rounds for one specific rifle. No better ammo can be had than fire-formed brass.

Hornady 30 Cal .308 Neck Size Die
A perfect way to neck-size your cases without wearing out your brass with full length dies or all the complicated bushing dies from other manufactures. These dies were as close to except-able tolerances as any dies i have used, bar none.The difference it made on my Remington .308 sps tactical was like the difference between daylight and dark. Using a Sierra 168g match king, Winchester fireformed brass cases, federal 210m primers, i went from shooting 3-4moa groups at 300 yds. to 1/2moa at 300. Amazing! Hornady has come up in the world from where they first started.This is a quality product at a great price!

Warning!
This die will not fit a 300 Rem Ultra Mag. It will accommodate a 300 wby mag. Unfortunately I mostly need it for the ultra mag.

Most accurate way to reload
I haven't been reloading long, but my first reloads neck sizing only took a 1 MOA 30-06 and turned it into a 1/3 MOA tack driver. I'll be working up some loads for my 308 next!

Hornady perfection
I've been reloading this caliber for more than 20 years when I shot 7.62 in service rifle competition....Now it's my favorite hunting round. I load this for my Encore and have no need to FL resize anymore neck sizing does the job and extends the life of the brass.
