Hornady 397101 Bullet Seating Stem 25 Cal 135gr ELD-X / ELD Match

The Hornady 397101 is a precision bullet seating stem built as a direct-fit replacement or alternate profile for Hornady Custom Grade reloading dies. Machined to the exact profile of Hornady's 135 gr ELD-X and 134 gr ELD Match 25-caliber projectiles, this stem guides each bullet into the case mouth straight and true, eliminating the wobble and tip damage that a generic seating stem can introduce.

Installed in a Hornady Custom Grade seating die, the bullet-specific geometry of the 397101 works with Hornady's floating in-line sleeve to minimize bullet run-out for more uniform seating depth and the kind of down-range consistency high-BC, tipped projectiles are designed to deliver. It is the recommended seating stem for handloaders running 25 caliber ELD-X hunting ammunition or ELD Match competition loads, allowing the same Custom Grade die to be optimized for a new bullet design with a simple stem swap.

Sold individually (1 in set) and clearly identified by Hornady part number 397101, this is the correct seating stem for any Hornady Custom Grade die set being used to load 25-caliber ELD-X or ELD Match projectiles. The Custom Grade seating die is sold separately.
