The Forster Products 22 BR full length sizing die is a precision reloading die built for handloaders who demand consistent, concentric ammunition. Whether you're loading for competition, varmint hunting, or accurate range work with the 22 BR cartridge, this die is engineered to support repeatable case prep and neck alignment—critical steps for match-grade accuracy. Forster's reputation for quality steel and tight machining tolerances comes through in every aspect of this die, from the hand-polished surfaces to the intelligent engineering of the expander system.
The standout feature here is Forster's E-Z Out expander button, which is positioned higher in the neck than conventional designs. This higher placement does more than just expand the neck—it actively supports and stabilizes the case during the expansion stroke, keeping the case neck and centerline aligned as the case withdraws from the die. For reloaders pursuing tight groups, that kind of precision matters. Every round you produce can have the kind of consistent neck concentricity that separates decent ammo from excellent ammo.
Construction quality is evident in the finest-grade steel, careful machining to tight specs, and the hand polishing before and after heat treatment. The die also features Forster's Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring—a thoughtful design that tightens both ends of the split ring rather than screwing directly into the die's threads, which protects the die and provides more secure locking. This is a die built to last and perform, reload after reload.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a full length sizing die used for?
A full length sizing die resizes the entire case—body, shoulder, and neck—back to factory dimensions. This is the standard approach for most rifle reloading, especially when loading for different firearms or when precise headspace control is important. The Forster 22 BR die handles this task while maintaining excellent case concentricity through its advanced expander design.
Will this die work with my 22 BR rifle?
This die is designed for the 22 BR cartridge. Confirm your rifle's chambering matches 22 BR before purchasing. If you're unsure, consult your rifle's documentation or a knowledgeable gunsmith.
What makes the E-Z Out expander button different?
Forster's E-Z Out expander button is positioned higher in the case neck than typical expander designs. This higher position provides neck support and stabilization during expansion, helping keep the case centerline aligned as you withdraw the case from the die. The result is more concentric case necks and, in turn, more consistent ammunition.
Does this die come with a press or other equipment?
This is the sizing die only. You'll need a reloading press, shell holder for the 22 BR, and other standard reloading components and tools to complete your setup.
