Hornady Die Set 2 22 ARC (.224)
The Hornady Die Set 2 22 ARC (.224) is a full-length 2-die set purpose-built for handloading the 22 ARC cartridge, a modern high-performance round designed around the AR-15 platform and equally at home in bolt-action rifles. Built on Hornady's Custom Grade New Dimension platform, these dies are precision machined from stainless steel and polished internally to a smooth finish that keeps cases moving freely without sticking or excessive friction. The set includes a full-length sizing die and a seating die with integrated crimp capability, covering the core reloading workflow in a compact, organised package. Whether you're chasing consistency on the range or loading for serious hunting and pest control applications, this die set delivers the precision and repeatability that handloading is all about.
Hornady Die Set 2 22 ARC (.224) Key Features
- Calibre and Bullet Diameter: Designed specifically for the 22 ARC cartridge with a bullet diameter of .224 in. (5.69mm), making it compatible with the broad range of .224 projectiles available for this calibre.
- Full-Length 2-Die Set: Includes a full-length sizing die and a bullet seating die, providing a complete sizing and seating solution for semi-automatic and bolt-action rifle reloading in a single set.
- Custom Grade New Dimension Platform: Dies are machined to tight tolerances for consistent, accurate handloads. The internal die profile is precision machined and polished to reduce friction and prevent case sticking.
- Stainless Steel Construction: Both dies are manufactured from stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance and long-term durability under regular reloading use.
- Elliptical Expander: The sizing die features an elliptical expander ball that contacts the case neck at an angle rather than straight through, reducing friction and minimising case neck stretch for improved brass longevity.
- Floating Bullet Alignment Sleeve and Stem: The seating die incorporates a floating sleeve and stem that self-aligns the bullet with the case mouth before seating begins, promoting consistent seating depth and improved loaded round concentricity.
- Integrated Crimp in Seating Die: The seating die includes a built-in crimp function, allowing you to seat and crimp in a single pass where your load requires it.
- Zip Spindle Design: The knurled spindle collar locks adjustment settings securely in place, preventing slippage during operation and ensuring your settings remain consistent between reloading sessions.
- Sure-Loc Rings: Two Sure-Loc locking rings are included, providing positive, repeatable die height settings in your press without the need for additional tools.
- Die Thread Size: Standard 7/8"-14 (22.2mm) thread pitch, compatible with the vast majority of reloading presses on the market.
- Storage: Comes packaged in a fitted plastic storage box to keep dies protected and organised between use.
- Shellholder: Not included and must be purchased separately to suit the 22 ARC case head.
For reloaders stepping into the 22 ARC, this Hornady die set provides a reliable, precision-engineered foundation for producing consistent, accurate handloads. Hornady recommends treating all metal die components with Hornady One Shot Gun Cleaner-Degreaser and Dry Lubricant prior to first use, available separately in store.
