The Forster Bench Rest Full Length Die Set for .22 Creedmoor is one of those tools that quietly earns its keep at the bench. You get two dies in a deluxe storage box: a full length sizer that works the whole case and a Bench Rest seater that's earned a serious reputation among precision handloaders. Both are machined and hand-polished from hardened steel, and the .22 Creedmoor chambering is a great match for anyone necking down a 6.5 Creedmoor case or feeding a fast-twist varmint or long range rig.
The full length sizer reshapes the neck, shoulder, and body, knocks out the spent primer, and expands the neck all in one pass. What sets it apart is Forster's high-mounted floating expander ball paired with a butyl rubber Co-Ax washer. The expander sits up high so the case mouth is held and centered by the die neck before the ball ever enters, and the floating washer lets it self-center instead of yanking the neck off axis. That's why so many reloaders swap Forster expanders into other brands to fix runout problems. Sizing this way gives you brass with a glove fit to your chamber and neck runout that often measures well under two thousandths.
Forster built the first straight-line seater of its kind, and the design is still the benchmark. A sliding chamber captures the entire outside of the case, holding the body, neck, bullet, and seating stem in perfect alignment before the bullet ever moves. The stem is hand-polished and shaped to work well with modern ballistic tips and VLD bullets. It's a non-crimping die, so if you want a crimp you'd add a separate die, but for accuracy work most folks skip it entirely.
The set includes two lock rings and works with most standard presses. Running it in a Forster Co-Ax press means no shellholder needed; in other presses you'll use the shellholder your press maker recommends. Set the expander per the instructions, lube lightly, and it's a straightforward tool that just makes better ammo.
Yes, both dies use standard threading and adapt to most common reloading presses. If you're running a Forster Co-Ax press, you won't need a shellholder. In any other press, just use the shellholder recommended by your press manufacturer.
No, this is a non-crimping seater by design. That's part of what makes it so accurate, since it holds the bullet and case in perfect alignment without disturbing the neck. If you want a crimp for a semi-auto or tube magazine, you'd add a separate roll or taper crimp die.
The expander ball sits high in the die and floats on a butyl rubber Co-Ax washer. This lets the case mouth get centered by the die neck before the ball enters, so it can't pull the neck off center on the way out. Many reloaders even swap Forster expanders into other brands to cut down runout.
It's a solid match. The full length sizer works the neck, shoulder, and body in one pass, which handles the case forming and headspace nicely. Just trim to length after sizing and lube lightly for smooth, consistent results.
