The Forster 50 BMG full length sizing die is built for handloaders who demand consistency and precision when working with one of the heaviest rifle cartridges in common use. Forster dies are known in the reloading community for their meticulous construction and attention to detail—each die is machined from quality steel to tight tolerances, hand polished before and after heat treatment, and designed to help you produce concentric, uniform rounds batch after batch.
What sets Forster full length sizing dies apart is their E-Z Out Expander button, positioned higher in the neck area than competing designs. This positioning provides critical support during the neck expanding operation, keeping the case neck and axis aligned as you withdraw the cartridge from the die. That focus on concentricity matters when you're reloading for a precision rifle or long-range application where every thousandth of an inch counts.
The die also features Forster's Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring, which tightens both ends of the split ring rather than relying on a screw threaded directly into the die itself. This approach distributes clamping force more evenly and helps preserve the die's integrity over thousands of reloading cycles. If you're setting up a dedicated 50 BMG press and want a sizing die that will serve you reliably for years of handloading, Forster's reputation for precision manufacturing makes this a solid choice.
