Hornady 397108 ELD Match Seating Stem for 30 Caliber .308-Inch 168 Grain A-MAX Bullets

The Hornady 397108 ELD Match Seating Stem is a precision reloading accessory designed for use with Hornady Custom Grade Dies. It is machined to match the profile of select bullets, helping guide projectiles into position during the seating operation while supporting consistent bullet alignment and precise cartridge assembly. This specialized seating stem is intended for reloaders who want dependable performance and careful control when assembling .30 caliber ammunition with compatible 168-grain bullets.
The seating stem is designed for .308-inch bullets and is compatible with Hornady A-MAX projectiles. Its profile-specific design helps apply seating pressure to an appropriate portion of the bullet, reducing the likelihood of damage to the projectile during reloading. By matching the bullet profile more closely than a general-purpose seating stem, the Hornady 397108 supports repeatable seating results and helps maintain the quality of carefully prepared handloads.
The Hornady 397108 ELD Match seating stem is intended exclusively for Hornady Custom Grade Dies and is not compatible with dies made by other manufacturers. Confirm die and bullet compatibility before installation and use, and follow established reloading practices and the recommendations provided by the die and component manufacturers. As part of a properly matched reloading setup, this Hornady accessory provides a practical way to support precision-focused ammunition assembly for .30 caliber applications using compatible A-MAX bullets.
