The Hornady Custom Grade Series I 2-Die Set for 17 Hornet gives handloaders a precision rifle reloading solution built for the popular 17 Hornet cartridge. This two-die set includes a full-length sizing die and a bullet seater die—the core tools you need to produce consistent, accurate ammunition. Hornady backs these dies with a no-risk lifetime warranty, so you can reload with confidence knowing they're engineered to handle years of use without breaking or wearing out under normal conditions.
What sets Series I dies apart is the attention to detail in every component. The sizing die features Hornady's Zip Spindle Design, which locks positively to the press and eliminates slippage during operation. Light threads on both the spindle and collet let you make fine adjustments by hand or quick movements when you need them. The internal die profile is precision-machined and polished smooth, so cases feed reliably without sticking or excessive friction that can slow your workflow or compromise accuracy.
The seater die delivers benchrest-level alignment through Hornady's in-line bullet seating system. A floating bullet alignment sleeve and floating steel seating stem hold the bullet and case neck in perfect alignment before the bullet enters the case neck—this translates directly to tighter groups and more consistent loads. The die includes a built-in crimper, so you can crimp without dedicating an extra press station or buying a separate die. A seater adjustment screw makes it easy to dial in your preferred bullet seating depth, and the locking retainer ring comes out in seconds for quick cleaning.
Hornady Sure-Loc lock rings clamp around the entire die body, applying constant pressure across the threads to lock the ring securely in place. The locking screw tightens without ever touching the threads, eliminating the risk of thread damage from pliers or wrenches. The set ships in a compartmentalized die box designed for organized storage of your dies, bushings, and shell holders.

Yes. The bullet seater die includes a built-in crimper, so you can crimp as part of the seating operation and save a press station.
This is a standard two-die set designed for bottleneck rifle cartridges. Verify compatibility with your specific press before ordering; lock ring dimensions and press mounting standards vary.
Hornady's elliptical expander provides smoother neck sizing with significantly reduced friction and case neck stretch compared to ball expanders. It also eliminates the need for a separate expander die when moving up to a larger caliber.
