The Hornady Seating Stem for 45 Cal FTX 250 grain bullets is a precision-machined internal component for Hornady Custom Grade bullet-seating dies in 45-calibre applications. Contoured to the specific ogive of the 250 grain 45-calibre FTX (Flex Tip eXpanding) bullet, it locates the projectile precisely within the die and applies seating force to the bullet body, keeping the polymer tip free from distortion. This is important for FTX bullets, where tip geometry directly affects reliable feed and consistent expansion. Handloaders working with 45-calibre cartridges using the heavier 250 grain FTX bullet will find this stem maintains uniform seating depth from the first round to the last. It is designed for Hornady Custom Grade dies exclusively and cannot be used with seating dies from other manufacturers. A straightforward drop-in replacement, it is a practical spare or a convenient swap when alternating between the 200 grain and 250 grain FTX profiles at the bench.
