The 6.5×47 Lapua has earned its reputation as an accuracy nut's cartridge, and it rewards handloaders who pay attention to the details. This Forster Bushing Full Length Sizing Die Kit gives you that kind of control. In a single stroke it resizes the case body, bumps the shoulder back, and sizes the neck using an interchangeable bushing, so you get properly sized brass that chambers smoothly without overworking it.
What sets a bushing die apart from a standard full length die is the neck. Instead of forcing every case neck down with a fixed dimension, the bushing lets you decide exactly how much tension you want on the bullet. The body and shoulder get sized down just enough to fit a minimum SAAMI chamber, while the bushing keeps the neck from being worked more than it needs to be. That translates to straighter necks, more uniform bullet grip, and brass that lasts noticeably longer through repeated firings.
The kit arrives with the full length bushing sizing die plus three bushings sized at .287, .289, and .291 inches. Those three cover the range most 6.5×47 Lapua shooters land in, so you can measure your loaded rounds, pick your tension, and start load development without a separate bushing order. If your chamber or brass calls for a different number down the road, Forster offers a wide lineup of additional bushings, and the die only accepts Forster-made bushings.
Forster builds these dies with the tight tolerances and smooth internal finish precision reloaders look for. For a cartridge like the 6.5×47 Lapua that's often shot in PRS matches, F-Class, and long range work, consistent neck tension is one of the biggest factors in shrinking group sizes and keeping velocity spread low. Pair this with a quality seating die and a good press, and you've got the foundation for seriously repeatable ammo.
This kit includes three Forster bushings measuring .287, .289, and .291 inches. That spread covers the neck tension range most 6.5×47 Lapua handloaders use, so you can start load development right away. If your setup calls for a different size later, Forster offers plenty of additional bushings.
A standard full length die sizes the neck to one fixed dimension every time. This bushing die lets you swap bushings to control exactly how much neck tension you want while still sizing the body and bumping the shoulder. That gives you straighter necks, more consistent bullet grip, and longer case life.
No, Forster bushing dies are designed to accept Forster-made bushings only. The good news is Forster's bushing lineup is extensive and covers the full range of diameters in small increments, so you can fine-tune your neck tension down to the thousandth.
Measure the neck diameter of several loaded rounds and average the readings to get your loaded neck dimension. From there, choose a bushing a couple thousandths smaller than that number depending on how much tension you want. Many 6.5×47 Lapua shooters find one of the three included bushings works well as a starting point.
