Hornady Match Grade Full-Length Sizer Die .300 Wsm .308"$58.59
Availability: In Stock
The Hornady Match Grade Full Length Size Die for .308 Winchester is built for precision reloaders who demand consistency and control over their brass. This full length die sizes the case body, bumps the shoulder, and neck-sizes all in one stroke—making it the centerpiece of a match-grade reloading setup for serious rifle shooters and handloaders focused on accuracy.
What sets the Match Grade line apart is the interchangeable neck sizing bushing system. Rather than forcing your brass through a fixed-size neck die, you select the bushing that matches your desired bullet tension. Bushings are offered in .002 inch increments, so you can fine-tune neck fit without the risk of over-sizing brass and accelerating its fatigue. The self-centering design keeps your neck concentric as it sizes, which translates directly to more consistent bullet seating and tighter groups downrange.
The die itself features a self-centering decap spindle with an o-ring spindle tensioner and uses an elliptical expander ball paired with a headed decap pin—the same proven pin found in Hornady's Custom Grade Dies. Build quality is intentional throughout: the machining and finish are solid enough to justify the match-grade name, and the whole assembly is designed to handle repeated reloads without premature wear.
If you're assembling a .308 Winchester rifle die set for match or long-range hunting, this full length die gives you the foundation to control case dimensions with precision. Pair it with the matching neck die from the Match Grade line for the ultimate in neck-only sizing control, or run it standalone for convenience.
| Caliber | .308 Winchester |
| Die Type | Full Length Size Die |
| Bushing Increments | .002 inch |
| Decap System | Self-centering spindle with o-ring tensioner |
The Match Grade die uses replaceable neck sizing bushings to control how tightly the die sizes your case necks. By selecting a bushing that produces your desired bullet fit, you avoid over-sizing brass and extend its life. Bushings come in .002 inch increments, allowing you to dial in exactly the tension you want.
The full length die sizes the case body, bumps the shoulder, and sizes the neck all in one step, so it works as a standalone die. However, Hornady also offers a matching neck-only die in the Match Grade line if you prefer to size necks independently without body sizing on subsequent reloads.
Match Grade dies are machined and finished to tighter tolerances than standard dies, with features designed for maximum precision and consistency. The self-centering bushing and decap spindle, combined with quality machining, help you produce ammunition with minimal runout and variation—critical for accuracy-focused shooting.
Yes. The die uses the same elliptical expander ball and headed decap pin found in Hornady's Custom Grade Dies, paired with a self-centering decap spindle and o-ring tensioner. This design has proven reliable across thousands of reloads.
