Forster Products 6.5X55Mm Swede Micrometer Seater Die
$121.54
The Forster Products 6.5x55mm Swede micrometer seater die brings precision bullet seating to your reloading bench. Built for handloaders who demand consistent, concentric rounds shot after shot, this die combines Forster's reputation for quality steel and tight machining tolerances with the fine-tuning control serious rifle shooters need. Whether you're loading for a vintage military rifle or a modern sporter chambered in this classic Scandinavian cartridge, a micrometer seater die lets you dial in bullet seating depth with repeatable accuracy—critical for match-grade ammunition and hunting loads alike.
What sets this die apart is the micrometer adjustment itself. Instead of guessing or adjusting by feel, you can dial bullet seating depth in increments as small as .0005 inch, giving you the precision to fine-tune your rounds to your rifle's chamber and throat. Once you find your ideal seating depth, you can record the setting and return to it instantly when switching between bullet weights or styles—no trial and error, no wasted brass. The micrometer design also simplifies the process of tuning bullets to the lands of your rifling, a technique many precision reloaders rely on for accuracy.
Forster builds this die from quality steel, hand-polished before and after heat treatment for a superior finish and consistent performance. The Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring—a Forster signature—tightens both ends of the split ring rather than screwing directly into the die threads, protecting the die from damage and ensuring a rock-solid grip in your press.
