FORSTER PRODUCTS BENCH REST SEATER DIES – HELP YOU TARGET MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. Bullet seating is the art and science of pressing a bullet into a case to the proper depth. The seating depth controls the interior volume of the cartridge case, playing a large role in determining the optimum chamber pressure of the fired cartridge. Prepping cases to obtain the proper bullet tension (that is, the “grip” on the bullet) is also critical to proper seating. This is the last and one of the most important steps in reloading, which you will want to master in order to get your projectiles spinning consistently toward the target. As you become more proficient in reloading, you will refine your own processes based on your tools/equipment, the type of shooting you do, the guns you reload and the goals you have for your handloaded ammunition. We suggest that you continue to read, learn, and understand various methods so that you can find the system that works best for your needs. The secret to perfect alignment is holding the bullet, case, and seating stem in the same close-fitting chamber for the entire seating operation. Forster's innovative, caliber-specific Die Chamber supports the entire outside diameter of the sized case, rather than just the bullet and case neck. (Most competing products support only the case rim.)Non-crimping style provides accuracy, consistency, and perfect alignment. (Exception: 30-30 caliber Die does crimp.)Seating stems supplied with our standard seaters have plenty of clearance to allow any bullet to be seated off the ogive and not the tip, compatible with even special bullet needs such as those encountered during the loading of most very low drag (VLD) bullets. Forster Products offers two styles of Bench Rest Seater Dies: Bench Rest Seater Die 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. Ultra Micrometer Seater Die Fine adjustments for precise seating measurements the very first time. A handy micrometer fixes the bullet seating depth to your specifications. After you have seated your bullet close to the desired depth and measured it, simply adjust the Micrometer stem up or down to the desired depth and the cartridge will be exactly the length you need. Bench Rest Die Set Forster also offers a Die Set that includes one Full Length Sizing Die and one Bench Rest Seater Die packaged in our Deluxe Die Box. For every rifle caliber you own, we recommend that you have a Full Length Sizing Die and a Bench Rest Seater Die.
