The Forster 6.5 PRC Bushing Full Length Sizing Die is built for handloaders who want real control over their brass. Instead of a fixed neck setup, it uses an interchangeable bushing to size the neck, so you decide how much tension your bullets get while the die squeezes the body back down and bumps the shoulder in the same stroke. That combination gives you straighter necks, better concentricity, and ammo that chambers smooth in a minimum-spec 6.5 PRC bolt gun.
This is a one-pass tool. It sizes the body and bumps the shoulder just enough to drop back into a SAAMI minimum chamber while the bushing handles the neck, so you're not overworking brass the way a standard sizer can. Forster makes neck bushings in .001 inch increments, which means you can fine-tune tension around the exact neck wall thickness of whatever brass you're running. A common starting point is picking a bushing roughly .002 inch under the neck diameter of a loaded round, then adjusting from there.
The die uses the standard 7/8-14 thread, so it threads into any common single stage press or Forster's own Co-Ax. It's machined and finished in the USA with the smooth interior Forster is known for, which shows up as easier sizing strokes and less effort on the handle. Pair it with a quality seater and you've got the makings of a precision 6.5 PRC loading bench.
One thing worth knowing up front: this part number is the die by itself. Neck bushings are sold separately, so you'll want to measure your brass and grab the right bushing size (or a couple to test) before your first session. If you'd rather have them bundled, the kit version ships with three pre-selected bushings instead.
No. This part number (FBD4409) is the die only, and neck bushings are sold separately. If you want bushings included, Forster offers a kit version that ships with three pre-selected sizes. Plan on measuring your brass and ordering the right bushing before your first sizing session.
Measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round, then choose a bushing roughly .002 inch smaller for a good starting point on neck tension. Forster offers bushings in .001 inch increments so you can fine-tune around your specific brass and neck wall thickness. Many reloaders keep a couple of sizes on hand to test what groups best.
A standard die sizes the neck a fixed amount, while this bushing die lets you control exactly how much the neck is worked by swapping bushings. It still full-length sizes the body and bumps the shoulder in one stroke, but it keeps you from overworking the neck. That means straighter necks, more consistent bullet grip, and longer case life.
Yes. It uses the standard 7/8-14 thread, so it threads into any common single stage reloading press as well as Forster's Co-Ax press. Set it so it contacts the shell holder at the top of the ram stroke per the instructions.
