If you're handloading 8.5x55 Blaser ammunition, a quality full length die is non-negotiable. The Hornady Horn Full Length Die for 8.5x55 Blaser is built to the Custom Grade standard that serious reloaders depend on when precision and reliability matter. This die handles the full-length resizing operation that keeps your cases within spec and feeding reliably through your rifle.
The die features polished elliptical expanders engineered to reduce case neck stretch—a key factor in consistent ammunition and longer case life. That matters when you're working with quality brass and building loads you expect to reload multiple times. The hardened steel decapping pin won't bend or break even when you're pushing out primers from cases with crimped primer pockets, a common scenario when working with military or Boxer-primed brass.
Setup and adjustment are straightforward thanks to the Zip Spindle design, which uses fine threads on both the spindle and collet to eliminate slippage and make lock-down reliable. No more fighting with a spindle that creeps during your reloading session. This is the kind of solid engineering that keeps your die doing the job without surprises.
