## Description

Perfect for the handloader looking to maximize the efficiency of their reloads, American Series die sets deliver excellent reloading performance at a great price. Die bodies are precision reamed from premium steel that is hardened to exacting specifications. They are then polished to a smooth finish that will endure the rigors of countless reloading sessions. Each die set includes a shell holder. Basic reloading data and two extra decapping pins are also included. The 3-Die American Series sizing dies feature an industry-leading titanium nitride sizing ring that reduces friction and case sticking, and helps prolong case life. Sizing dies size to SAAMI specifications. Internal spindles, expanders and seating stems are interchangeable with other components on the market. The American Series features a threaded spindle that is adjusted by screwing the spindle further into or out of the die body and a standard ball expander which sizes the inside of the case neck. Die bodies feature a smooth surface while the seating stem and spindle are knurled for ease in adjustment. A 6-sided nut and o-ring secure and hold the die in place. All Hornady reloading tools and accessories are warranted against material defects and workmanship for the life of the product.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    spend a little more for the titanium nitride dies.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2019*

Cheaper across the board. Not carbide or nitride. Requires cases to be lubed .  No locking rings, have a poor imitation of the Lee style nut and o ring. cheap non reusable bubble pack, no storage box to protect them and keep everything together. Overall, if you just add a cheap plastic storage container and decent lock rings, you have spent as much as on a nice set of carbide or nitride dies, and still have to go through the extra steps of lube the cases and then clean cases to remove the lube after sizing.  35+ years reloading and these are the first set of dies I have turned my nose up at.  Hornady, you should be ashamed to put your name on these.  I sent them back for the better titanium nitride ones, and bought a shell holder, since the better ones don't include one with the set.  Dont bother with these, spend a few bucks more and you won't have to upgrade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Just as good the pro dies
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2018*

I was reluctant to buy this set of dies versus spending additional for the pro dies but I’m very happy with these. They don’t come with a box but it includes the shell holder which is always nice to have, and they perform excellent. Since I leave them in the tool head all the time I don’t miss the box :) These adjust just like the pro dies and come with Hornady’s great warranty. They operate smoothly and arrived nicely polished with no nasty machine marks. Again I’m very satisfied with these for the price and will consider ordering them again in the future for other calibers.

    COMPLETE JUNK!
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020*

Do! Not! Buy! This! Junk!!!Be warned,,, These dies are complete SH!T people, do not buy them! They tear up the copper jackets and throw the headspace so far out of whack, you cannot fire the rounds!! I have little copper rings sitting atop of the casings because these dies peel a copper layer off the bullet and pressed it atop the case head, the round is no good! I feel like such a damn fool because I should have gone with RCBS and avoided this cheap crap... Lesson Learned!!
