FORSTER BENCH REST DIE SET 260 REM
Bench Rest® Die Sets
No doubt about it: Forster Bench Rest dies set the standard for quality and precision. That’s why they’re the first choice of some of the world’s toughest reloading critics, including members of the U.S. Marines, U.S. Navy Seals, U.S. Army Rangers, U.S. Secret Service, and the U.S. Olympic Shooting Team.
Forster created the first die of its kind on the market, and it’s still the best straight-line Seater Die anywhere. The sliding Die Chamber has a concentric bullet channel just slightly larger than the bullet diameter. This tight fit ensures straight-line (co-axial) seating.
The hand-polished Bullet Seating Stem provides consistent reloads. The Seater Die adapts to most standard reloading presses. Its non-crimping style provides accuracy, consistency, and perfect alignment.
Years ago, Forster/Bonanza obtained U.S. Patent #3,440,923 for the design of the original Bench Rest Seater Die. That patent covered the use of a specially machined, close-fitting chamber that holds the case, the bullet, and the seating stem all in perfect alignment. This innovative chamber design is still the hallmark of our Bench Rest Seater Dies, because it’s the premier system of all “in-line” seater systems, which support the entire outside diameter of the sized case rather than just the bullet and case neck.
We have continued to refine our seating stems to better fit newly designed ballistic tips and to match most very low drag (VLD) bullets. Our close-fitting chamber (part #P-30) made with one-piece reamers ensures concentricity and accuracy.
Because they offer maximum flexibility, most reloaders start their collection of Bench Rest® dies with full length sizers. The die sizes the case neck and body, sizes shoulder to set headspace (length), deprimes, and expands the case neck.
Machined by hand with one-piece reamers. The exclusive elevated “E-Z” out expander ball system makes the difference in this sizing die.
Full Length Dies are available in more than 70 calibers, either individually or bundled with a seater die in the Bench Rest Die Set.

Custom Neck Honing FAQ
Q. How do I determine what diameter to hone my Sizing Die to?
A. Measure the outside diameter of your loaded rounds and subtract 0.004″.
This “hone-to” dimension will prevent the Die from overworking the brass, while enabling the EZ-Out Expander Ball in the Sizer Die to provide consistent neck tension on the bullet.
Two other variables to consider when choosing the “hone-to” dimension are 1) varying neck wall thickness, and 2) differences in ductility, or springback, in different lots or batches of brass.
