If you're loading 22-250 Remington and want brass that drops into the chamber clean and shoots straight, this Forster full length sizing die earns its spot on the bench. It resizes the case neck, shoulder, and body, bumps the shoulder back to set headspace, deprimes the case, and expands the neck all in one stroke. The result is brass that returns to minimum SAAMI chamber dimensions, so it re-chambers in any 22-250 rifle with minimal play. That full-body sizing is what you want after a case has been fired several times and the brass has started to flow.
Forster builds these from quality steel, machines them on precision lathes to tight tolerances, and cuts them with one-piece reamers so every diameter stays concentric to the next. After heat treating and oil quenching to a tough hardness, each die gets hand polished before and after treatment for an extra-fine finish inside. A precisely positioned vent hole keeps trapped air and excess case lube from damaging your brass or the die's internals during the sizing stroke.
The heart of this die is Forster's exclusive elevated E-Z Out Expander Ball. It sits higher in the neck area than most dies, so the expander engages while the case body is still captured inside the die. That support holds the neck and case axis in alignment as the brass is drawn back out, which is a big reason Forster dies have such a strong reputation for concentricity. Paired with the floating design, it corrects misalignment and keeps the neck from pulling off center during expansion.
The die carries Forster's Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring, which clamps around the whole ring with a cross bolt rather than digging a set screw into the die threads. That means repeatable settings, no canting, and threads that stay undamaged over years of use. It threads into any standard 7/8-14 press, and if you're running a Forster Co-Ax, you won't even need a shellholder.
No, a shellholder is sold separately and is not included with this die. If you're running a conventional 7/8-14 press, you'll need the correct shellholder for the 22-250 case head. If you use a Forster Co-Ax press, no shellholder is required at all.
It resizes the case neck, shoulder, and body in one pass, bumping the shoulder back to set proper headspace. At the same time it deprimes the case and expands the neck as the brass is drawn back out. The end result is a case sized to fit any SAAMI-spec 22-250 chamber with minimal play.
The expander ball sits higher in the neck area than most competing dies, so it engages the neck while the case body is still held inside the die. That support keeps the neck and case axis aligned as the brass comes back out, which helps produce straighter, more concentric rounds and reduces necks being pulled off center.
Yes, it uses standard 7/8-14 threads, so it works in common single stage and turret presses. It's also fully at home in Forster's own Co-Ax press. The Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring lets you set your adjustment once and keep it repeatable without chewing up the die threads.
