Forster Products 22 Br Full Length Die Set

The Forster Products 22 BR full length die set is built for reloaders who demand consistency and precision. If you're loading for a 22 BR rifle—whether you're a benchrest shooter chasing tiny groups or a varmint hunter working up reliable loads—this two-die set gives you the core tools to produce concentric, headspace-matched ammunition shot after shot. Forster's reputation in precision reloading rests on careful manufacturing: each die is machined to tight tolerances from quality steel, then hand polished before and after heat-treating to achieve a superior finish that resists wear and galling over thousands of rounds.

The set includes a full length sizing die and Forster's Bench Rest seater die. The sizing die features Forster's exclusive E-Z case neck expander system—a design that centers the case neck on the case body to reduce run-out and improve concentricity. The seating die is engineered for precision, letting you dial in repeatable bullet seating depth and concentricity. Both dies mount via Forster's Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring, which tightens the split ring at both ends rather than driving a screw directly into die threads; this approach distributes clamping force evenly and protects the die's threads from galling or damage.

A full length die set is the practical choice for most rifle reloaders: it handles the full sizing stroke needed to safely resize fired brass and seat bullets to spec. This is the setup hunters use to prepare ammunition between seasons, and what target shooters lean on for reliable, repeatable loads. The 22 BR is a specialized wildcat cartridge favored in benchrest and rimfire competition circles, and these dies are purpose-built for that demanding precision environment.

Note: Forster manufactures National Match dies that reduce headspace by .003", but those are specified for bolt action target rifles only and are distinct from this standard full length set. Confirm your application before purchase if headspace control is critical to your build.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in this Forster 22 BR die set?

The set contains two dies: a full length sizing die (with Forster's E-Z case neck expander) and a Bench Rest seater die. This is a complete full length setup for resizing fired brass and seating bullets.

Is this die set suitable for beginners?

Full length die sets are the standard starting point for most reloaders, but the 22 BR is a specialized cartridge used primarily in benchrest and competition shooting rather than general hunting or range use. If you're new to reloading, confirm that 22 BR is the cartridge your rifle shoots before purchasing.

What makes Forster dies different?

Forster dies are hand polished before and after heat-treating, machined to tight tolerances, and feature the E-Z case neck expander system (exclusive to Forster) designed to improve concentricity. The Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring distributes clamping force evenly without threading a screw directly into the die, protecting the die from damage over time.

Are these National Match dies?

No. Forster also manufactures National Match dies that reduce headspace by .003" for bolt action target rifles, but this is a standard full length set. Confirm your specific application requirements before purchase.
