Forster Products 308 Winchester National Match Full Length Die Set
$118.06
Precision reloading demands dies that can hold tolerances tighter than most production ammunition—that's where the Forster Products 308 Winchester National Match Full Length Die Set comes in. Built for bolt-action target rifles, these full length dies reduce headspace by .003" compared to standard sizing dies, giving you the consistency and accuracy that separates bench rest shooters from the rest. If you're loading match ammunition for competition or long-range hunting, this two-die set is engineered to help you produce concentric, repeatable rounds.
Forster manufactures these dies from premium steel with exacting tolerances, then hand-polishes each die before and after heat-treating to ensure a superior finish that resists wear and maintains concentricity over thousands of rounds. The set includes a full length sizing die paired with Forster's Bench Rest seater die—the core combination serious reloaders reach for. The sizing die incorporates Forster's exclusive E-Z case neck expander system, which works smoothly and consistently to prepare your brass for seating.
One detail that sets Forster dies apart is the Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring, which tightens from both ends of the split ring rather than boring a screw directly into the die threads. This design protects the die's integrity and helps you achieve repeatable positioning in your press from batch to batch. If you're building 308 ammunition for an AR-10, bolt gun, or other .308-chambered rifle, this National Match set is purpose-built to raise your reloading precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in this 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 the standard two-die configuration used by hunters and target shooters for complete case preparation and bullet seating.
What rifles is this set designed for?
These National Match dies are intended for bolt-action target rifles. The .003" headspace reduction is optimized for precision bolt guns, not semi-automatic platforms.
How do National Match dies differ from standard full length dies?
National Match dies reduce headspace by .003" compared to standard sizing dies, producing tighter, more consistent ammunition—a critical advantage in competition and precision rifle shooting where every round must perform identically.
What is the Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring?
Instead of tightening a screw directly into the die's threads (which can damage them), Forster's Cross Bolt system tightens both ends of the split ring to lock the die in place. This protects the die and helps you return to identical setup positions repeatably.
