Is the Hornady 398567 Threaded Zip Spindle compatible with older Hornady sizing dies?

Yes, this spindle serves as a direct replacement for bent or damaged decapping rods and can also be used to upgrade older-generation smooth-shaft Hornady sizing dies manufactured prior to 2006. It fits any standard 7/8"-14 threaded Hornady Custom Grade or New Dimension sizing die body.

Will this Zip Spindle fit small .17 and .20 calibre Hornady sizing dies?

No, the standard 398567 model does not fit sub-calibre .17 and .20 calibre dies. Those specific smaller calibres require Hornady Zip Spindle Kit #43401, which features specialised reduced-diameter components.

How does the Zip Spindle technology prevent slippage during high-force case neck sizing?

The Zip Spindle features a proprietary series of light, interrupted threads along the precision-machined steel shaft. Working in conjunction with Hornady's spindle lock collet, this threaded design completely eliminates slippage during heavy decapping and sizing operations while allowing micro-adjustments.

Does the Hornady 398567 require any electrical compliance certifications for use in Australia?

No, the Hornady 398567 is a purely mechanical reloading press component with no electrical requirements. It does not use mains power, has no Australian electrical plug, and is entirely exempt from SAA or RCM electrical compliance certifications, allowing for hassle-free use on your reloading bench.

What standard reloading components are designed to work directly with this spindle?

This threaded spindle is engineered to hold standard Hornady headed decap pins (MPN #390222) and standard elliptical expanders or retainers (MPN #396303). It is built from durable precision-machined steel to withstand typical workshop reloading temperatures and manual bench press forces.

The Hornady Threaded Zip Spindle (MPN: 398567) is a precision-machined steel replacement decapping rod designed for Hornady Custom Grade and New Dimension sizing dies.
