Forster Bench Rest Full Length Die Set .22 Cm
The Forster Bench Rest Full Length Die Set for .22 CM is a precision reloading die set built for shooters who demand consistency shot after shot. Whether you're a hunter processing ammunition for your rifle or a target shooter chasing tight groups at distance, this two-die set gives you the core tools needed to produce concentric, properly-sized rounds. Forster's Bench Rest dies are machined from quality steel to exacting tolerances and hand-polished before and after heat treatment—the kind of attention that translates into better brass handling and more uniform ammunition.
What sets this .22 CM die set apart is Forster's engineering choices. The Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring design tightens both ends of the split ring instead of threading directly into the die itself, a feature that protects die threads and improves longevity. The included full length sizing die incorporates Forster's E-Z case neck expander system, an exclusive feature that simplifies the neck expansion process and helps ensure concentric loaded rounds. Pair that with the Bench Rest seater die, and you have a capable setup for serious handloading.
A full length die set like this one is the logical starting point for anyone new to reloading, and it remains the go-to choice for hunters and target shooters who reload regularly. If you're working with .22 CM brass and want dies that handle the work reliably without fuss, the Forster Bench Rest set delivers the precision and durability that have made Forster a trusted name in reloading equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Full length die sets are ideal for hunters, sport shooters, and target shooters who reload on a regular basis. This is the standard choice for most rifle handloaders and the recommended starting point for beginners in reloading.
What makes Forster's Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring different?
Instead of tightening a set screw directly into the die threads, Forster's Cross Bolt design tightens both ends of the split ring simultaneously. This protects the die threads from wear and provides a more secure lock.
