The Hornady Custom Grade Full-Length Sizing Die (.22-250 Remington) is a standalone reloading die engineered to restore once-fired brass cases back to factory SAAMI dimensions while simultaneously depriming the spent primer. Built on an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread pitch, this unpowered mechanical tool integrates into standard single-stage, turret, and progressive reloading presses. It shapes the case body and shoulder geometry to ensure reliable feeding and smooth chambering, making it an essential reloading component for shooters recycling brass for .22-250 Remington firearms.

Key Features

• Zip Spindle™ Technology: Utilises a lightly threaded spindle shaft that eliminates slippage and allows handloaders to make precise vertical micro-adjustments or easily raise and lower the decapping pin assembly.
• Elliptical Expander: Polished expander provides smooth neck expansion, significantly reducing friction, neck stretch, and case wear compared to standard ball expanders to extend overall brass life.
• Sure-Loc™ Lock Ring: Features an external clamp design that fastens firmly across the threads without driving a set screw directly into the metal, preventing thread damage while holding die settings in position.
• Precision Polished Interior: Features a mirror-finished internal die profile designed to eliminate internal drag and minimise resizing resistance when used with case lubricant.

Who is the Hornady 22-250 Rem Full Length Die for?

• Pest and predator hunters — requires complete resizing of fired cases back to SAAMI specifications across a 7/8"-14 thread pitch press to guarantee rapid, jam-free chambering when targeting pests, foxes, and wild dogs with .22-250 Remington rifles.
• Mixed-brass reloaders — uses a full-length sizing die to reset the body, neck, and shoulder dimensions of cases fired through multiple different rifle chambers back to factory .22-250 Remington tolerances.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seeking maximum case longevity and benchrest precision from brass fired exclusively through a single bolt-action rifle, who should transition to a dedicated neck sizing die; it is also completely unsuitable for modified chambers such as the .22-250 Ackley Improved (AI) or alternate .22-calibre cartridges without altered shoulder dimensions, which require cartridge-specific sizing dies.
