Forster 6.5 Cm Bushing Full Length Sizer Die
$101.40
The Forster 6.5 Creedmoor bushing full length sizer die is built for reloaders who want precision control over case dimensions without unnecessary work-hardening of the brass. Unlike standard sizing dies that use fixed sizing buttons, this die lets you dial in exactly how much neck tension you want by swapping bushings—giving you a way to optimize accuracy and extend case life in the same operation. It sizes the case body and bumps the shoulder to fit a minimum-spec SAAMI chamber while the bushing handles the neck, so you're only resizing what needs resizing.
Full length sizing is essential if you're loading for a rifle that will be shared among shooters or if you swap your rounds between guns. The bushing design here is the key difference: it reduces the stress on your brass neck compared to conventional dies, which means your cases stay straighter and last longer before they need to be retired. That efficiency matters whether you're prepping match ammo, hunting loads, or volume reloading for the range.
Forster has been making reloading dies for decades, and their bushing and spindle design is tight—you get repeatability that shows up in tighter groups when you do your part on the loading bench. This die fits standard press mounts and works with Forster's bushing system, so you can fine-tune your neck tension without buying a whole new die for different hardness brass or different purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a bushing sizer die differ from a standard full length sizing die?
A bushing sizer uses a replaceable bushing to control neck tension rather than a fixed sizing button. This lets you tailor how much the neck is sized based on your brass hardness or load, reducing unnecessary working of the brass and extending case life.
Will this die work in my reloading press?
Yes, the Forster bushing full length sizer die uses standard press mounts and will fit any standard single stage, turret, or progressive press.
What happens to the case shoulder and body when I use this die?
The die sizes the body and bumps the shoulder down to fit a minimum-sized SAAMI 6.5 Creedmoor chamber. The bushing then manages the neck sizing separately, so you can control that tension independently of the body and shoulder work.
Is this die better for hunting or target shooting?
The benefits apply to both. Full length sizing ensures reliable feeding in any rifle, while the bushing's precision neck control helps with accuracy. Use it for hunting loads if you rotate between rifles, or for match ammo where you want maximum precision and case longevity.
