This is Hornady's full-length sizing die for .40 S&W and 10mm Auto, sold as a single die (part #046534) rather than a complete set. Since both cartridges share the same .400 bullet diameter, one die covers both calibers, which makes it a smart pickup if you load both or want a dedicated spare for a progressive press. It handles the two biggest jobs in one pass: resizing fired brass back down to proper dimensions and knocking out the spent primer with the decapping assembly.
The standout feature here is the titanium nitride gold ring sizing surface. It's harder than carbide and runs without any case lube, which is a real time saver when you're working through a big batch of straight-wall pistol brass. The coating is slick enough that it won't scratch your cases and it reduces drag on the downstroke, so your press cycles smoother and your brass lasts longer.
Hornady's Zip Spindle system handles the decapping stem. A set of light threads on the spindle and collet let you dial in fine adjustments by turning the spindle, or zip it up and down quickly for bigger moves, then lock it down so it won't slip during a loading session. The die also comes with a Sure-Loc lock ring that clamps around the full body to hold your height setting, so you keep your adjustment when you pull the die out of the press.
The die uses the standard 7/8-14 thread, so it threads right into any common single-stage or progressive press. Keep in mind this is the sizing die on its own and does not include an expander or seater, so if you're building a full .40 or 10mm setup you'll want to pair it with those. You'll also need a #10 shell holder or shell plate, which is sold separately. Hornady backs these dies against breaking or wearing out under normal use, so it's a buy-once piece for your bench.
Yes. The .40 S&W and 10mm Auto both use .400 diameter bullets and share case body dimensions, so this single sizing die handles both. That makes it handy if you reload either or both cartridges.
This is the full-length sizing and decapping die only (part #046534), not a complete set. If you need to expand case mouths and seat bullets, you'll want to add an expander die and a seater, or grab the full 3-die set instead.
No. The titanium nitride gold ring sizing surface is harder than carbide and runs lube-free on pistol brass. Some reloaders still add a light lube to make the press cycle a touch smoother, but it isn't required.
It uses a #10 shell holder on a single-stage press or a #10 shell plate on a progressive. That part is sold separately, so make sure you have the right one on hand before loading.
