Clamps around the entire die resulting in a more precise mating of the lock ring threads to the die threads. They are supplied with all Forster’s high quality Bench Rest Dies.
- Easy-to-use cross bolt connects the two ends of the ring instead of a traditional screw design that tightens directly into the threads of the die resulting in a more precise mating of the lock ring threads to the die threads
- Provides a more reliable alignment with no canting and no damage to the die threads which remain undamaged
- Tightening or loosening the steel cross bolt screw requires only a 7/64″ hex key (Allen wrench)
- Fits standard 7/8″-14 thread dies from most manufacturers

Use the Neck Tension Gage (NTG) as an inspection tool to quickly and accurately screen/sort a batch of brass before your bullet seating operation.
The NTG provides reloaders with the information needed to create exacting neck tensions during the bullet seating operation.
- Use after case neck sizing and before bullet seating to help determine optimal inside neck diameter for consistent release of a bullet from your reloaded rounds.
- Allows for inspection of the inside diameters of case necks to be sure a “donut” has not formed at the neck-shoulder junction.
Available in five calibers the NTG Neck Tension Gage Inspection Tool consists of four stepped diameters that increase in size until reaching the handle. Each diameter is etched on the metal tool.
Simply insert the stepped end of the tool into the neck of your sized case sliding it in until one of the diameters achieves a slip fit in the case neck. Use the resulting value to fine-tune your case preparation.

Made for various calibers Forster Products 3-in-1 Case Mouth Cutter Carbide helps save valuable time as well as effort during reloading sessions. With this particular product three critical steps for preparing cases are done at once. The main feature of the cutter is the extremely sharp blades made from carbide designed to chamfer case necks inside and outside.
It chamfers the outside of the neck at 30 degrees and on the inside 14 degrees. This cutter also trims brass to the exact length preferred while also deburring. While the pilots can be interchanged you will need to adjust the cutting edge.

The Bushing Full Length Sizing Die offers advanced precision by allowing you to precisely control the amount of neck sizing tension in your reloaded brass while sizing the body and bumping the shoulder.
This die improves accuracy and prolongs case life because the case’s shoulder and body is sized down just enough to fit in a minimum-sized SAAMI rifle chamber and bushing limits working of the neck.
Every gunsmith knows that proper use of a headspace gage is the most reliable way to test the length of a rifle chamber.
“Headspace” is the distance between the face of the breech and the base of the cartridge when the action is closed and excessive headspace can be dangerous as well as impair accuracy. For instance unsupported brass fired in a rifle action with excessive headspace can rupture allowing gas to blow rearward like rocket exhaust. Because your safety is on the line Forster Headspace Gages are made with painstaking care and exacting manufacturing standards to ensure accurate testing of your rifle’s chamber.
If a rifle closes on a GO gage the rifle chamber will accept any ammunition that is made within SAAMI (industry standard) specifications. If a rifle closes on a NOGO gage the rifle chamber might have excessive headspace. Most gunsmiths chamber a rifle’s headspace between the GO and NOGO dimensions. If a rifle closes on a FIELD gage the rifle chamber is dangerously close to or already over the SAAMI specified maximum chamber size.

The Forster Bushing Full Length Sizing Die offers advanced precision by allowing you to precisely control the amount of neck sizing tension in your reloaded brass while sizing the body and bumping the shoulder. This die improves accuracy and prolongs case life because the case's shoulder and body is sized down just enough to fit in a minimum-sized SAAMI rifle chamber and bushing limits working of the neck.
The bushing resizes the case neck just enough to grip the new bullet. But not enough to over-work the brass. One of the three bushings included will accomplish this. So you'll get more reloads before your brass gives out.
