The Hornady Zip Spindle Kit is the ideal kit for updating your older Hornady Sizing dies to utilize the new threaded spindle design. The Zip Spindle has a series of light threads cut on the spindle and collet. This eliminates spindle slippage, and makes tightening the spindle lock a breeze when making adjustments. This kit includes a new threaded spindle (decapping rod) and a threaded spindle collet (portion of the kit that tightens the threaded spindle so it will not slip in the die). this kit does not include a decapping pin retainer or expander ball. Reloaders must use the decapping pin retainer and expander ball that is on their die set. Technical Information
- Fits: Any Caliber Hornady New Dimension Sizer Dies

Notes:
Kit consists of a threaded spindle and threaded spindle collet. This kit does not include the decapping pin retainer or expander ball. To install, remove the non-threaded spindle, collet, and expander ball from the existing die. Re-attach the existing expander ball to the new spindle, and install the threaded spindle and threaded collet.
- If the spindle on the expander die is already threaded, then this kit is not necessary.
- All die sets shipped in 2006 and later are the new threaded style.
