Forster Bench Rest Die Set 8.6 Blackout

The Forster Bench Rest Die Set for 8.6 Blackout delivers the precision and build quality serious reloaders demand. Built from premium steel and machined to tight tolerances, this full-length two-die set produces consistently concentric ammunition for hunters, target shooters, and precision rifle builders working with the 8.6 Blackout cartridge. Whether you're developing loads for a new build or refining your reload process, Forster's meticulous manufacturing—hand-polished before and after heat-treating—ensures the fine finish and reliability that separates quality equipment from the rest.

Each die in this set leverages Forster's exclusive engineering. The full-length sizing die incorporates the E-Z case neck expander system, a Forster innovation that simplifies and improves neck expansion consistency. The Bench Rest seater die completes the pair, allowing you to seat bullets with the precision required for tight groups. Both dies use Forster's Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring, which tightens the split ring at both ends rather than threading directly into the die itself—a design that protects the die threads and delivers rock-solid security on your press.

If you're stepping into 8.6 Blackout reloading or upgrading from basic dies, a full-length die set like this is the workhorses most reloaders reach for. It handles the volume and consistency required for everything from hunting loads to range development. Forster's attention to fit and finish means your dies will perform reliably for thousands of rounds.
