The Hornady Full Length Die Set for 8.6 Blackout is a precision reloading tool engineered for shooters who demand consistency and reliability at every stage of the reloading process. Built with the care that's become Hornady's trademark, this full-length sizing die handles the critical task of preparing your brass to exact SAAMI specifications, ensuring uniform chamber fit and reliable feeding in your rifle.
What sets this die apart is Hornady's Elliptical Expander—a proprietary design that delivers a significant advantage over traditional ball expanders. The elliptical design resizes your case neck with noticeably smoother, more predictable action while reducing friction and case neck stretch, two concerns that matter when you're chasing accuracy. The Zip Spindle system lets you make fine adjustments by rotating the spindle incrementally, or rapid changes by "zipping" it up or down for larger movements. Internal threading keeps everything locked in position without slippage, so your die settings stay put through session after session.
The die comes outfitted with Hornady's Sure-Loc lock ring, which clamps around the entire die body with consistent pressure. The locking mechanism doesn't contact the threads themselves—a design detail that matters—and wrench flats make installation and removal straightforward. The internal profile is precision machined and polished smooth, engineered to prevent case sticking and keep friction minimal during operation.
Whether you're loading match rounds for precision rifle work or hunting ammunition for your 8.6 Blackout, this die delivers the control and durability that serious reloaders expect. Hornady backs the work with a lifetime warranty against breakage or wear from normal use.
This is a full-length sizing die designed for use in standard single-stage and progressive reloading presses. Verify your press's die mounting thread specifications before purchase.
Hornady's Elliptical Expander reduces friction and case neck stretch compared to traditional ball expanders, providing smoother neck sizing and more consistent results. The design also eliminates the need for a separate expander die if you decide to neck up to the next caliber.
This set includes the full-length size die, Elliptical Expander, headed decap pins, Zip Spindle, and Sure-Loc lock ring. You'll still need a compatible reloading press, powder measure, scale, calipers, bullets, powder, primers, and cases to complete your reloading setup. Other accessories are sold separately.
The Zip Spindle features light threads cut on both the spindle and spindle lock, allowing you to make fine adjustments by turning the spindle incrementally. For larger positioning changes, you can quickly "zip" it up or down. The system locks positively to prevent slippage during reloading.
