Hornady Die Thread Specs...

[BCB]

I attempted to include an attachment of die thread specifications…
(I might be obsessive compulsive!!!)

But, I refer to it from time to time if I need to clean a thread up on a die for whatever reason. Sometimes just plain gunk gets on the threads and makes it a bit difficult to adjust…

I attempted to see what size the threads are on Hornady dies and I just don’t seem to have the thread gauges etc. to tell what they are…

They must be an “odd” size…

Anyone know what they might be for the seating stem screw, the collet and the spindle for the decapping pin?...

Probably doesn’t matter as I don’t seem to have the taps and dies for them anyhow…

Thanks…BCB

This probably won't help at all- but years ago I made up a chart with the threads per inch for the seating stems of various brands of dies-and the change in depth per turn. I listed the Hornady as 18 threads per inch with .055 change per turn.

Yea, my thread gauge indicates that--I think. But, I don't know the diameter as I don't have any dies that seem to fit it...

BCB - The thread in the top of the Lee FL sizer is a 1/8-27 NPT thread.

Thanks...

Went and checked again, and at least I had the number of threads correct!!!

Those types of threads and bolts I am not real familiar with...

Just the plain ol' straight ones...
