Forster Bench Rest Ultra Micrometer Seater Die 8.6 Blackout
$121.54
The Forster Bench Rest Ultra Micrometer Seater Die for 8.6 Blackout is a precision reloading die engineered for shooters who demand consistent, repeatable bullet seating depth on every round. Whether you're working up loads for a new cartridge or fine-tuning ammunition for competition or long-range hunting, this non-crimping seater die removes the guesswork from one of the most critical steps in the handloading process.
What sets this die apart is its integrated micrometer adjustment system. Rather than relying on press feel or trial-and-error adjustments, you seat your bullet close to the target depth, measure the cartridge, then dial in exact seating depth using the micrometer stem. The micrometer adjusts in .001" increments with clearly marked gradations, and moves freely in both directions so you can fine-tune depth up or down without removing the die from your press. This precision pays dividends: repeatable seating depth directly improves shot-to-shot consistency and helps you build ammunition that performs predictably downrange.
The die itself maintains the proven straight-line seating design of Forster's original Bench Rest Seater, keeping bullet and case perfectly aligned during the press stroke. Bright white markings on the micrometer ensure you can read your adjustments easily, even under shop lighting. If you're serious about handloading 8.6 Blackout and tired of chasing seating depth variables, this die is built for shooters who understand that precision ammunition starts with precision tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this seater die crimping or non-crimping?
This is a non-crimping seater die, meaning it seats the bullet without applying crimp pressure in the same stroke.
How precise is the micrometer adjustment?
The micrometer adjusts in .001" increments and moves freely in both directions, allowing you to dial in seating depth to within .0005" of your target.
Do I need to remove the die from the press to adjust seating depth?
No. You can adjust the micrometer stem up or down while the die is mounted in your press, making it easy to fine-tune depth during the loading process.
What's the advantage of a micrometer seater over a standard seating die?
The micrometer eliminates much of the trial-and-error traditionally associated with seating bullets to a precise, repeatable depth, helping you produce more consistent ammunition.
