Adding the decapping die

Decapping die added, also using the Hornady bushing system, drop in , and rotate one-quarter turn to lock.

Hornady dies have a titanium nitride ring, not titanium carbide like other dies. Advantage is that titanium nitride is smoother.

Decapping die added and locked in.

This is the bullet seating die. There is a sleeve that extends down past the mouth of the die, that aligns the bullet with the case on the upstroke. It's a unique feature to Hornady dies, and it goes a long way to optimising bullet concentricity.

The bullet seating die sleeve retracted to the position where the bullet would be seated.

Inserting the bullet seating die, drop in and lock with a quarter twist turn.
