If you handload for the 222 Remington and want tighter groups without the guesswork, this Forster Ultra Micrometer Seater Die is one of the surest ways to get there. The heart of the design is a caliber-specific sliding chamber that fully captures your case before the bullet ever starts into the neck, so the case, bullet, and seating stem all share one common axis during seating. That alignment is what keeps runout down and sends rounds out the barrel straight.
This is a non-crimping seater, which means it focuses entirely on seating the bullet true rather than rolling a crimp into the case mouth. The bullet rides inside a close-fitting channel just a hair larger than bullet diameter for its full length, and the seating stem touches the ogive rather than the tip. That combination is why Forster's bench rest dies built this reputation in the first place, and the Ultra version carries it forward with the added micrometer on top.
The micrometer head is the part you'll appreciate every time you sit down to load. Clearly marked graduations at .001 inch let you make repeatable adjustments in either direction, and you can split that down to around .0005 inch when you're chasing the lands. Bright white markings make the numbers easy to read and easy to record, so once you find the depth your rifle likes, you can write it down and return to it load after load. No more seating a dummy round, measuring, backing off, and repeating until you lose your patience.
Fast standard 7/8-14 threads mean this die drops into most reloading presses, and it ships with Forster's Cross Bolt Die Lock Ring that clamps evenly around the whole die body instead of digging a set screw into the threads. If you run a Forster Co-Ax press, you won't even need a shellholder. Everything is machined from quality steel and made in the U.S.A., which is exactly what you want in a tool meant to deliver consistency over thousands of rounds.
No, this is a non-crimping seater die. It is built purely to seat the bullet with match-grade alignment, not to apply a crimp. If you need to crimp, you would handle that as a separate step with a dedicated crimp die.
The micrometer head is marked in clear .001 inch graduations and lets you fine-tune in either direction. With careful reading you can split adjustments down to roughly .0005 inch. The bright white markings also make it easy to record a setting and come right back to it later.
It uses standard 7/8-14 threads, so it fits most common reloading presses from the major brands. If you run a Forster Co-Ax press, you won't need a shellholder; with other presses, use the shellholder recommended by that press maker.
A spring-loaded sliding chamber captures the case and bullet for their full length and holds them on a common axis with the seating stem before seating begins. The stem contacts the bullet on the ogive rather than the tip. Together these keep runout low and produce straighter, more consistent rounds.
