Hornady ELD-X Bullet Seating Stem 7mm .284 175 gr

The Hornady ELD-X Bullet Seating Stem is a precision reloading accessory designed to deliver accurate, consistent bullet seating in Hornady Custom Grade Dies. Specifically machined for 7mm projectiles with a .284 diameter and 175 gr ELD-X bullets, this seating stem ensures proper alignment and seating depth without damaging the polymer tip or jacket of the bullet.

Hornady's ELD-X (Extremely Low Drag - eXpanding) is a high-ballistic-coefficient hunting bullet built for reliable expansion across the full practical range spectrum, with the jacket and core engineered to stay together for high weight retention at extended distances. This seating stem is contoured to match the exact profile of the 175 gr 7mm ELD-X bullet, allowing reloaders to seat these streamlined projectiles without tip contact that could disturb concentricity or compromise accuracy. The result is repeatable seating depth and consistent neck tension from one round to the next.

This single seating stem threads directly into Hornady's Custom Grade seating die and serves as a direct-fit replacement or dedicated component for reloaders running the 7mm ELD-X 175 gr bullet in their hunting or long-range precision rifle loads. Whether working up an all-range hunting recipe or dialing in a match-grade load, the correct seating stem is a small but critical part of producing accurate handloaded ammunition.
