If you're loading 6mm BR for benchrest, F-Class, or any match where small groups matter, this Forster Bushing Full Length Sizing Die hands you the kind of control that regular dies just don't offer. It sizes the case body down to fit snugly in a minimum-spec SAAMI chamber, bumps the shoulder back for proper headspace, and lets you set exactly how much neck tension you want by choosing the right bushing. That combination keeps your brass straight and your chambering smooth round after round.
Most full length dies squeeze the neck down a fixed amount, then open it back up with an expander. This one works differently. The interchangeable bushing controls neck diameter directly, so you can minimally size the neck and leave the rest of the brass alone. Bushings come in .001 inch increments, which means you can fine-tune bullet grip to match your brass neck wall thickness and the feel you want at the seating step. Less working of the brass means longer case life and more consistent neck tension from one firing to the next.
Forster machines these dies on precision lathes to tight tolerances and uses one-piece reamers to keep every internal diameter concentric. The interiors are hand polished for smooth, low-drag sizing that's easier on your cases, and the steel is heat treated for a long service life. It threads right into any standard 7/8-14 press, so it drops into your setup without fuss. A decapping assembly is included to deprime as you size.
Keep in mind this die ships without bushings, so you'll want to pick up Forster neck bushings separately based on a quick measurement of your loaded neck diameter. A common starting approach is measuring a loaded round, then choosing a bushing about .002 inch under that number. From there it's easy to tune up or down a thousandth until seating feels right and your velocities tighten up.
No, this die is sold on its own without bushings. You'll want to order Forster neck bushings separately in the diameter that matches your brass. They come in .001 inch increments so you can fine-tune neck tension to your exact setup.
A standard full length die sizes the neck a fixed amount and relies on an expander to open it back up. This Forster bushing die uses an interchangeable bushing to control neck diameter directly, so you minimally size the neck and set your own bullet tension. The result is straighter necks, less overworked brass, and more consistent reloads.
Yes. It sizes the case body and bumps the shoulder back in the same stroke while the bushing handles the neck. That gives you proper headspace and a snug fit in a minimum-spec SAAMI chamber for smooth, reliable chambering.
The simplest method is to measure the neck diameter of a loaded round, then pick a bushing roughly .002 inch under that number. From there you can go up or down a thousandth to get the seating feel and neck tension you want. If your neck wall thickness isn't uniform, leaving the expander in helps keep inside diameter consistent.
