Forster Full Length Bushing Ultra Die Set W/ 3 Bushings 6.5X47 Lapua
$236.11
The Forster Full Length Bushing Ultra Die Set for 6.5x47 Lapua gives precision reloaders the control they need to consistently turn out match-grade ammunition. This three-die set combines a bushing full length sizing die with a bench rest ultra micrometer seater die, letting you dial in neck tension independently while sizing the body and bumping the shoulder in one smooth motion. If you're building ammo for a precision rifle or working up loads for competition, this setup lets you manage case working to extend brass life and tighten your groups.
The heart of this system is independent neck sizing control. Rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach, the included bushings (289, 291, and 293) let you choose the exact neck tension that works best for your brass and rifle. You size the shoulder and body to minimum SAAMI spec—just enough to chamber reliably—while the bushing limits how much the neck gets worked. That precision pays off in both accuracy and case longevity, especially over multiple reloading cycles.
Forster's bench rest pedigree is built into every detail. The micrometer seater die gives you repeatable bullet seating depth to the half-thousandth, critical when every tenth of an inch of jump can shift your load's behavior. Paired with the sizing die's consistency, you get the kind of round-to-round uniformity that separates good shooting from competitive-grade precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What bushings are included and can I buy additional sizes?
This set comes with three bushings: 289, 291, and 293. These sizes let you tune neck tension to match your brass and rifle. Forster makes bushings in different sizes, so if you need tighter or looser tension, additional bushings are available separately.
Is this die set suitable for competition and precision rifle reloading?
Yes. The bushing system and micrometer seater die are designed for the kind of consistency and control required in competition and precision rifle applications. Independent neck sizing helps maintain the uniformity that competitive shooters demand.
How does the bushing sizing die extend case life?
The bushing die sizes the shoulder and body to minimum SAAMI specs while the bushing limits how much the neck is worked with each loading cycle. Less unnecessary neck working means less stress on the brass, so cases last longer before they're too work-hardened to reload safely.
What's the difference between this and a standard full length sizing die?
A standard die applies the same neck sizing to every load. This bushing system lets you choose the exact neck tension with three different bushings, giving you independent control over body and shoulder sizing versus neck sizing. That precision control is what separates bench rest and competition reloading from general-purpose ammo prep.
