Forster Products Ster Bushing Full Length Sizing Die Bench Rest Ultra Micrometer Seater
$236.11
The Forster Products Bushing Full Length Sizing Die with Bench Rest Ultra Micrometer Seater is built for precision reloaders who demand consistent, repeatable loads. This specialized rifle die system tackles one of the toughest challenges in handloading: controlling neck tension while sizing the case body and shoulder. Whether you're prepping match brass or hunting ammo, the bushings let you dial in exactly how much neck sizing happens in each reload, which translates directly to tighter groups and longer case life.
What sets this die apart is how it works. The interchangeable bushings do the real work—they limit how much the case neck gets worked during sizing, which means less brass fatigue and fewer reloads before a case is done. Meanwhile, the die itself sizes the body and bumps the shoulder back just enough to chamber reliably in a minimum-sized SAAMI chamber. This controlled approach keeps your cases from getting stretched and mangled the way traditional dies can do.
The included Bench Rest Ultra Micrometer Seater gives you fine-tuned bullet seating adjustment—the kind of control benchrest shooters and precision hunters expect. The package comes with three bushings, so you can tune the neck tension to different brass conditions or cartridge specifications without buying extra dies. This is the tool serious reloaders reach for when they're chasing consistency and longevity in their brass.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the bushings do, and why do I need three of them?
The bushings control how much the case neck gets sized—they limit the working and tension applied. Different bushings let you match neck tension to your brass condition or load requirements. Three bushings give you flexibility to dial in the right tension without buying separate dies.
Will this die work with my existing reloading press?
This die is a standard rifle reloading die and will work with any standard reloading press that accepts press-compatible dies. Check that your press accepts full-length sizing dies.
What's the difference between this and a regular full-length sizing die?
A standard full-length die sizes the entire case uniformly. This bushing die lets you control neck sizing tension independently, which reduces case work and extends brass life—valuable for precision shooters who reload the same brass multiple times.
Does this set include everything I need to start reloading?
This die and seater handle the sizing and bullet seating steps. You'll also need a powder measure, scale, primer tool, and other standard reloading components to complete the process.
