Forster Products 6.5X55Mm Swede Bushing Bump Neck Die Kit

The Forster Products 6.5x55mm Swede Bushing Bump Neck Die Kit gives precision reloaders the fine control they need to manage neck tension on every round. Built for shooters who demand consistency—whether you're handloading for a classic Swedish military rifle, a modern sporting build, or a custom hunting rig—this kit includes a hand-polished sizing die matched to 6.5x55mm Swede specifications, plus three hand-selected bushing sizes chosen by Forster's experienced staff. The result is the ability to tailor neck fit to your exact brass and firearm, something that standard full-length dies simply can't offer.

Forster's bushing system works by applying a precisely controlled amount of tension to the case neck during sizing. Instead of relying on a fixed die opening, you swap bushings to dial in the neck clearance you want—tighter for match-grade accuracy, looser for faster loading cycles or once-fired brass from various sources. This modularity makes the kit adaptable as your reloading evolves or if you work with multiple rifles in the same caliber.

Each bushing is finely machined to a smooth internal finish, reducing friction and brass wear while promoting uniform sizing. The hand-polished sizing die reflects Forster's attention to detail and durability. If you're serious about 6.5x55mm Swede reloading and want to move beyond one-size-fits-all dies, this kit is the foundation for repeatable, accurate handloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a bushing bump neck die do differently than a standard sizing die?

A bushing bump neck die lets you control how much tension is applied to the case neck by swapping interchangeable bushings. Standard dies have a fixed opening; this system lets you fine-tune fit for tighter concentricity and more uniform neck tension, which improves accuracy and brass longevity.

Will this kit work with my 6.5x55mm Swede rifle?

Yes, the die is sized and configured specifically for 6.5x55mm Swede. As long as your press has standard reloading die threads (which nearly all do), this kit will fit and function.

What do the three included bushings do?

The three bushings are hand-selected by Forster and provide different neck tension options. You'll swap them depending on the exact fit you want for your brass and firearm; tighter bushings reduce clearance for precision work, while looser ones accommodate variance in brass or speed up production loading.

Do I need a specific type of reloading press?

Forster's reloading dies work in any standard reloading press with standard die threads. No special equipment is required.
