Forster Products 22 Gt Full Length Sizing Die

The Forster Products 22 GT full length sizing die is built for reloaders who demand consistency and precision with this modern cartridge. Forster has engineered this die to produce concentric, properly sized rounds that feed reliably and perform predictably downrange. Whether you're working up loads for a new rifle or maintaining an established load, this full length sizing die handles the critical first step of the reloading process with the exacting tolerances Forster is known for.

What sets Forster apart in the reloading die market is their attention to manufacturing detail. Each die starts as premium steel, carefully machined to tight tolerances, then hand polished before and after heat treatment to ensure a superior finish that resists wear and corrosion. The result is a die that will produce thousands of rounds without degrading in performance. The Forster Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring uses a split-ring design that tightens both ends of the ring rather than applying pressure directly to the die's threads—this distributes force evenly and protects the die from damage over time.

The E-Z Out Expander button is a key feature of Forster full length sizing dies, and this 22 GT die includes it. The button is positioned higher in the neck area than competing designs, which provides superior support and alignment of the case neck during the expanding stroke. This geometry keeps the case axis true, resulting in more concentric finished ammunition and fewer runout issues that can affect accuracy and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a full length sizing die do?

A full length sizing die resizes the entire cartridge case to SAAMI specifications, which is essential for reliable feeding and consistent performance in your rifle. It's the first critical step in the reloading process.

Why does the E-Z Out Expander button matter?

The higher positioning of Forster's E-Z Out Expander button provides mechanical support to the case neck during expansion, keeping the neck aligned with the case body. This reduces runout and produces more concentric ammunition, which improves accuracy and feeding reliability.

What is the Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring?

Forster's Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring uses a split-ring design that tightens at both ends rather than applying force to the die's threads. This distributes clamping pressure evenly and protects the die from damage, extending its working life.
