Hornady Custom Grade Series V Expander Die .350 Legend .355"

The Hornady Custom Grade Series V Expander Die .350 Legend .355" is a precision reloading component designed for shooters who demand consistency in handloaded ammunition. Built for straight-walled rifle and pistol cartridges, this expander die serves a critical function in the reloading sequence: it creates a controlled "bell" or flare at the case mouth, preparing chambers for smooth powder and bullet insertion. Whether you're loading for .350 Legend AR platforms, lever-action rifles, or precision pistol applications, this die ensures uniform case preparation that directly impacts final round quality and firearm feeding reliability.

Hornady's Series V platform represents a refinement in die construction, featuring hardened steel internals and precise tolerances that maintain dimensional consistency across thousands of reloading cycles. The .355" specification is calibrated specifically for .350 Legend cartridges, ensuring the flare diameter matches SAAMI standards without over-expanding case necks—a critical detail that prevents premature neck cracking and maintains case longevity. The slight bell created by this expander eliminates friction when seating bullets and allows powder to drop freely into the case, reducing potential for double-charges and inconsistent loads. The compact 6-inch height integrates seamlessly into single-stage or progressive press setups.

Precision handloaders, competition shooters, and .350 Legend rifle developers benefit most from this expander die's accuracy and durability. It is compatible with standard reloading presses using 7/8x14 threads, making it a drop-in replacement or addition to existing tooling. Law enforcement ammunition technicians and military armorers who work with newer cartridge platforms like .350 Legend will find this die essential for maintaining quality control in high-volume operations. Pair it with Hornady's matching sizing and seating dies for a complete, precision reloading system that produces ammunition meeting the most demanding performance and safety standards.
