Hornady A-Tip Match Bullet Seating Stem 30 Cal 176 gr

The Hornady A-Tip Match Bullet Seating Stem is a precision-machined seater stem designed for 30 caliber (.308" diameter) Hornady A-Tip Match projectiles weighing 176 grains. Built as a direct-fit replacement for the seating stem in Hornady's Custom Grade reloading dies, this seater is cut to the exact profile of the 176 gr A-Tip bullet, allowing concentric, damage-free seating at your chosen overall cartridge length.

The A-Tip Match bullet features a precision-machined aluminum tip that is longer than polymer-tip designs, a construction that moves the bullet's center of gravity and enhances in-flight stability at long range. A seating stem matched to that exact tip profile is essential to avoid scoring or deforming the tip during the seating stroke. Swapping stems in an existing Custom Grade die lets the handloader switch between bullet profiles without buying a completely new die set.
