Hornady A-tip Seating Stem - 6.5mm .264 135/153gr.

The Hornady A-Tip Seating Stem for 6.5mm .264 135/153gr bullets is a precision reloading component engineered for shooters who demand consistency in long-range rifle ammunition. This seating stem is specifically designed to work with Hornady Custom Grade dies, addressing the unique geometry of A-Tip projectiles that require careful, controlled seating to prevent deformation. Whether you're a competitive precision rifle shooter, a long-range hunter, or a dedicated handloader optimizing factory ammunition, this tool eliminates the guesswork from one of reloading's most critical steps.

Built to exacting machining tolerances, the Hornady A-Tip Seating Stem is specifically profiled to match the A-Tip bullet design without damaging the projectile's precision tip or compromising the bullet's aerodynamic profile. The stem mechanically indexes the bullet's ogive during seating, ensuring repeatability and bullet-to-bullet consistency that translates directly to tighter shot groupings and improved ballistic performance downrange. This precision-grade reloading die component accommodates both 135-grain and 153-grain A-Tip variants in 6.5mm caliber, making it a versatile addition to any serious handloader's setup.

Competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts will recognize that seating stem compatibility is non-negotiable—this component is engineered exclusively for Hornady Custom Grade dies and will not function with universal or third-party die sets. Installation is straightforward for experienced reloaders: simply thread the stem into your seating die in place of a standard stem, and the profiled design automatically positions A-Tip bullets at optimal depth. Handloaders working with 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, or similar 6.5mm cartridges using A-Tip projectiles will find this seating stem essential for maintaining the tight concentricity and consistent cartridge geometry required for sub-MOA accuracy.
