The Forster Products 6 GT full length sizing die is built for reloaders who demand consistent, concentric ammunition. Whether you're working up loads for precision rifle competition or preparing hunting rounds, this die gives you the control to produce repeatable results shot after shot. Forster's reputation in the reloading industry rests on meticulous manufacturing—each die is precision-machined from high-quality steel, hand-polished before and after heat treatment, and finished to exacting tolerances that separate quality reloading dies from generic alternatives.
The 6 GT is a modern cartridge built on the 6 Creedmoor case, favored by long-range shooters and precision hunters. A full length sizing die is essential for this caliber, resizing the entire case to ensure reliable feeding and consistent headspace across your reloads. Forster's design philosophy focuses on what matters most to serious handloaders: concentricity and repeatability. The included E-Z Out expander button is positioned higher in the neck than competing designs, providing superior support to the case neck during the expansion stroke and maintaining alignment while you withdraw the case from the die.
You'll also notice the Forster Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring, a thoughtful detail that tightens both ends of the split ring rather than relying on a single set screw threaded directly into the die itself. This approach distributes clamping force more evenly and protects the die's threads from wear over thousands of reloading cycles. It's the kind of engineering that adds up to durability and reliability on the reloading bench.
If you're setting up for 6 GT, or upgrading dies you've outgrown, the Forster full length sizing die is a solid choice for handloaders who value precision and longevity over cutting corners.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a full length sizing die and why do I need one for 6 GT?
A full length sizing die resizes the entire case—body, shoulder, and neck—to SAAMI specifications. This is essential for 6 GT reloads because it ensures proper chamber fit, reliable feeding, and consistent headspace across your ammunition. If you're reloading for a semi-automatic rifle or sharing brass among firearms, full length sizing is the standard choice.
How does the E-Z Out expander button work?
The E-Z Out expander button opens the case neck to accept a new bullet. Forster positions this button higher in the neck than most other die designs, which provides better support to the case during the expanding operation and helps maintain the concentricity of the neck as you withdraw the case from the die.
What makes Forster dies different from other manufacturers?
Forster manufactures from premium steel with tight tolerances and hand-polishes each die before and after heat treatment. The Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring clamps both ends of the die's split ring rather than threading a screw directly into the die body, which protects the die's threads and provides more even holding force over the life of the tool.
What reloading press will this die fit?
Forster full length sizing dies are standard 7/8x14 thread, compatible with virtually all progressive and single-stage reloading presses that accept standard rifle dies, including Forster, RCBS, Hornady, Dillon, and others.
