The 26 Nosler earns its reputation as one of the fastest 6.5mm cartridges out there, and feeding it quality handloads means starting with dies that keep everything straight. This Forster Bench Rest two-die set covers the two jobs that matter most: full length sizing and precise bullet seating. It's the setup a lot of reloaders turn to when they want match-grade consistency without stepping up to custom bushing dies.
The full length sizing die works the case neck, shoulder, and body in one pass while depriming and expanding the neck. That full body sizing lets your brass re-chamber cleanly in a SAAMI minimum chamber, which is handy if you're running the same ammo across more than one rifle. Each die body is machined with one-piece reamers to hold concentricity between every diameter, then heat treated, oil quenched, and hand polished before and after hardening for a slick, long-lasting finish.
Forster's exclusive E-Z Out expander ball sits high on the spindle, close to the neck. That elevated position keeps the case neck supported deep in the sizing portion of the die as the brass withdraws, which helps keep the neck and case axis in line and makes the expansion stroke noticeably easier on your press. The non-crimping Bench Rest seater is the real standout. Its close-fitting sliding chamber supports the entire outside diameter of the case, not just the neck and bullet, so the bullet, case, and seating stem all stay in perfect alignment for straight seating every time.
The 26 Nosler runs a big, non-belted case that headspaces off the shoulder, so a sizing die that controls shoulder bump matters for brass life and consistent chambering. Dialing in this full length sizer lets you set headspace exactly where your chamber wants it. Pair that with the straight-line seater and you've got a system geared toward tight runout numbers and the kind of repeatable accuracy this flat-shooting 6.5 is built to deliver.
This is a two-die Bench Rest set with a full length sizing die and a standard Bench Rest seater die, packaged in a deluxe die box. The full length sizer handles neck, shoulder, and body sizing plus depriming and neck expansion, while the seater takes care of straight bullet seating. It's everything you need to load 26 Nosler from fired or new brass.
If you're running them in a Forster Co-Ax press, no shellholders are required. In any other standard reloading press, you'll want to use the manufacturer-recommended shellholder for the 26 Nosler case head. The dies themselves use standard 7/8-14 threading that fits common presses.
The Bench Rest seater uses a close-fitting sliding chamber that supports the entire outside diameter of the case rather than just the neck and bullet. That keeps the case, bullet, and seating stem all in line as the bullet goes in, which produces straighter seated rounds with lower runout. It's a non-crimping design built for accuracy and consistency.
Yes. Because the 26 Nosler headspaces off the shoulder, the full length die sizes the body and bumps the shoulder when you dial it in against the press. Setting it up correctly lets you control headspace for better brass life and reliable chambering, which is exactly what you want from a high-pressure cartridge like this one.
