Forster Products 26 Nosler Full Length Die Set

The Forster Products 26 Nosler Full Length Die Set is a precision reloading die set built for shooters who demand consistency and accuracy with 26 Nosler ammunition. Whether you're working up loads for a long-range hunting rifle or fine-tuning match ammo at the range, this full length die set gives you the essential tools to produce concentric, uniform rounds shot after shot. Forster's Bench Rest line represents one of the most respected names in reloading equipment, and this set reflects their commitment to tight machining tolerances and a hand-polished finish that catches light and tells you something's different about the quality here.

The set includes a full length sizing die and Forster's Bench Rest seater die—the standard combination that hunters and serious target shooters reach for again and again. The sizing die features Forster's exclusive E-Z case neck expander system, which works smoothly and yields consistent results without the fuss of separate expander buttons. The cross bolt die locking ring is a Forster hallmark: instead of tightening a screw into the die threads (and risking thread wear), you tighten both ends of the split ring evenly, clamping the die securely in your press without compromise.

Every die starts as premium steel, carefully machined, then hand polished before and after heat treatment to ensure a superior finish and long service life. This attention to detail means your dies will keep producing quality rounds for years. If you reload 26 Nosler regularly—whether for a custom bolt gun, a precision build, or a factory rifle—this die set is the foundation of repeatability. It's sized and configured specifically for the 26 Nosler cartridge, so you get optimal case life and ammunition performance without making do with a generic solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this die set suitable for bolt action rifles?

Yes. This is a full length die set designed for standard bolt action rifles. Forster also offers National Match dies for bolt action target rifles, which reduce headspace by .003\" for specialized match applications—but this standard set works with typical hunting and target bolt guns.

What's included in the box?

The set includes two dies: a full length sizing die (with the E-Z case neck expander) and a Bench Rest seater die. This is the two-die configuration used by most hunters and target shooters for general reloading.

How does the cross bolt locking ring work differently?

Instead of tightening a screw directly into the die's threads, the cross bolt ring clamps both ends of the split ring evenly. This design protects the die threads from wear and provides more secure, repeatable die positioning in your press.

Is this set compatible with all reloading presses?

Full length die sets are designed to work with standard reloading presses that accept 7/8"-14 thread dies. Confirm your press compatibility before purchase, but this set works with the vast majority of single-stage and progressive presses on the market.
