The RCBS Full Length Die Set for .17 Hornet is a complete reloading solution built specifically for shooters handloading this compact, high-velocity bottleneck cartridge. Whether you're a precision rifle reloader looking to stretch performance from .17 Hornet ammunition or you're setting up a dedicated reload bench for this fast-growing varmint round, this Group D die set delivers the functionality needed to produce consistent, safe cartridges with reliable headspace control.
RCBS full length sizing brings your brass to SAAMI minimum cartridge dimensions, ensuring proper chambering and consistent velocities from reload to reload. The Full-Length Sizer Die handles case sizing, deprimming, and neck expansion in one step, preparing fired brass to accept a fresh bullet. Built-in vents prevent trapped air pockets and excess lubricant from damaging your cases during the sizing stroke—a detail that extends die life and brass life on the same bench. The included Seater Die seats your bullet while an integrated roll crimper secures it in place, giving you a complete setup without hunting for additional tools.
This is a no-frills, proven die set from a reloading brand trusted by handloaders for decades. If you're new to .17 Hornet reloading or expanding an existing setup, this die set covers the core operations—sizing, depriming, expanding, seating, and crimping—in a straightforward two-die configuration.

Yes. This is a straightforward, two-die full length setup that covers sizing, depriming, neck expansion, bullet seating, and crimping. It's designed to work with standard single-stage or progressive reloading presses compatible with Group D dies.
The vents in the Full-Length Sizer Die prevent air pockets and excess lubricant from building up inside the die during the sizing stroke. This reduces the risk of case damage and helps protect both your brass and your dies over many reloading cycles.
SAAMI minimum dimensions are the smallest allowable cartridge measurements for safe, reliable chambering. Full-length sizing to these dimensions ensures your reloads will chamber consistently in your rifle and maintain predictable headspace from shot to shot.
