Hornady 397130 6.5mm 143 Grain ELD Bullet Seating Stem for Custom Grade Dies

The Hornady 397130 Bullet Seating Stem is designed for use with Hornady Custom Grade Seating Dies and is precision-machined to match the profile of specific 6.5mm bullets. This specialized design helps apply seating pressure to the appropriate bullet surface, supporting consistent bullet alignment and reducing the risk of damage during the seating process. It is intended for reloaders seeking dependable performance and repeatable results when loading compatible 143 grain ELD bullets.
The 397130 seating stem is a replacement or application-specific component for Hornady Custom Grade Dies. Its contoured profile is engineered around the bullet shape rather than using a general-purpose contact surface, helping maintain the bullet’s form while it is seated into the cartridge case. Proper setup and adjustment of the die are recommended to achieve the desired seating depth and reliable loading performance.
This Hornady seating stem is caliber-specific for 6.5mm applications and is classified as a seating die component. It is not compatible with dies manufactured by other brands. Verify that your die is a Hornady Custom Grade Seating Die and that the stem profile matches your bullet design before installation. As with all reloading equipment, follow established loading procedures and consult current manufacturer data for safe, consistent use.
