Hornady A-TIP Match Custom Bullet Seating Stem 6mm .243" 110 gr

The Hornady A-TIP Match Custom Bullet Seating Stem for 6mm .243" 110 grain is a precision reloading component engineered to work with Hornady Custom Grade Dies for exact bullet seating without damage. This stem is purpose-built for shooters who demand consistency in handloaded ammunition, particularly those pursuing long-range accuracy or competitive rifle shooting where seating depth tolerance directly impacts precision and velocity ES.

The A-TIP Match designation reflects Hornady's advanced terminal tip technology, and the seating stem's design accommodates the A-TIP bullet profile's specific geometry. At 110 grains, this stem targets the popular 6mm/.243" caliber weight range used in precision rifle platforms. The stem geometry is calibrated to prevent compression or deformation of the bullet tip during the seating process—a critical consideration when working with match-grade projectiles where even minor cosmetic damage can alter ballistic performance. Compatibility is limited to Hornady Custom Grade Dies; this ensures proper fit and function without risk of binding or improper seating pressure.

This component is essential for reloaders who hand-load precision ammunition for target shooting, PRS-style competitions, or hunting applications demanding tight velocity spreads and repeatable accuracy. Shooters working with A-TIP Match bullets in 6mm will find this stem indispensable for maintaining ammunition consistency across multiple loading sessions. Small investment in the correct seating stem eliminates the risk of bullet runout or seating inconsistency that cheaper alternatives introduce.

Reloaders assembling match-grade ammunition recognize that component quality compounds across each step of the loading process. A dedicated seating stem for your specific bullet diameter and weight ensures that precision achieved at the press isn't compromised by tool wear or cross-caliber mixing. Part number 397139 is the Hornady standard for this application.
