Hornady 397106 ELD Match Bullet Seating Stem for 6.5mm 140 Grain Bullets

The Hornady 397106 ELD Match Bullet Seating Stem is designed for use with Hornady Custom Grade seating dies and is shaped to match the profile of specific 6.5mm bullets. Its specialized contour helps guide bullets into the case and seat them with consistent alignment, supporting precise ammunition assembly for reloaders who demand repeatable results. This seating stem is intended for 140 grain ELD Match bullets and is machined to help apply seating pressure to the appropriate bullet surface rather than concentrating force on the bullet tip.
The precision-oriented design helps reduce the risk of deforming or marking bullets during the seating operation. By matching the bullet profile, the stem supports smooth, controlled seating and can help maintain the intended bullet shape as cartridges are assembled. It is a practical replacement or specialty component for reloaders configuring Hornady Custom Grade dies for 6.5mm match ammunition, whether preparing cartridges for range use, competition, or accuracy-focused load development.
The Hornady 397106 seating stem is compatible with Hornady Custom Grade Dies only and is not compatible with seating dies made by other manufacturers. Verify that your die setup and bullet profile match this component before installation. With its dedicated 6.5mm configuration, the stem provides a purpose-built interface for 140 grain ELD Match bullets and complements the precision features of Hornady reloading equipment. Use proper reloading procedures and consult current loading data when assembling ammunition.
