A while back I had mentioned that I was trying the new hornady die with the zip spindle. I had said I would keep everyone informed on how it worked. Within my first 50 rounds the zip spindle pulled right out of the die. After that I couldn't get the zip spindle locked down tight enough that it wouldn't move. I returned it to Cabela's for some Lee dies. Nothing against Hornady but I just figured I'd try something different. | ||

Oh yeah, It was lubed properly too. | |||

I had that problem with the Hornady diess in the beginning too, I just had to adjust it properly. But I have to say I really like them now. I especially like the seater die though. | |||

The new dies have a threaded spindle...was this one with the threads or just a plain spindle?? I have lots of hornady and love the elipitical expander and the seater does good too. On the older dies I found that a deep well socket certainly gets them tight enough. So tight I've expanded 243 brass up to 308 without trouble. With a little fiddling some of my hornady dies make almost zero runnout.....I'll buy more. | |||
