The Forster Neck Reamer comes in a variety of diameters including .224 .243 .264 .284 .308 .429 and many others. When reloading if the case neck is too thick it can put pressure on the chamber and cause flyers. By mounting this neck reamer in the Case Trimmer rather than the pilot it helps eliminate excess brass from the walls of the neck.
This particular neck reamer grinds the entire bullet diameter to precision creating perfect symmetry. Made from strong and durable steel the reamer is designed for unsized and untrimmed fired cases.

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.

This Forster Case Trimmer Kit (w/6 Pilots & 3 Collets) is the original which comes with six pilots including 22 24 25 27 28 and 30 as well as three collets of 1 2 and 3. For most calibers with bullet dimensions ranging from 0.171 to 0.459 inches this is ideal. The kit boasts a premium shell holder design as well.
Collets 1 through 4 fit the original case trimmer while holding rims of most pistol and rifle calibers in that very range. This kit is an excellent choice for expanding on an existing reloading system.
The Forster Outside Neck Turner Accessory for Original Case Trimmer is unique because rather than being centered on the pilot only as with handheld turners the case is turned concentric to true axis. With this turner neck walls are made of uniform thickness as well as the same outside diameter.
When adjusted properly this turner reaches a tolerance of 0.0001 inches. In addition the cutter head is designed with a circular carbide cutter that can easily be adjusted. The feed rate is controllable simply by rotating the feeder cam while the length of the cut is controlled with a mechanical stop.
Made specifically for .243 diameter this Forster Outside Neck Turner Pilot #243 is an exceptional buy for someone who does home reloading. To ensure accuracy when firing a bullet must have the same neck thickness. In order to expand properly and avoid a bullet-to-bore misalignment this pilot creates wall thickness of the same size.
A goal of reloading is to have consistency in your ammunition and with this pilot that is made possible. The mandrels are evenly ground to 0.002 to 0.0025 inches smaller than the diameter of the bullet which boosts performance.
Available in various diameters the Forster Outside Neck Turner Pilot is affordable. For someone who enjoys reloading this pilot guarantees consistent release of the bullet from the case neck. In order for the bullet to release at the point of ignition the neck has to expand.
If the side of the case neck is thicker on one side the bullet will release too soon causing misalignment of bullet-to-bore that will affect accuracy. This pilot grinds the steel points which are known as mandrels to 0.002 to 0.0025 inches smaller than the diameter of the bullet for the best performance.

As with all Forster products the Forster Power Adapter For Case Trimmer is made from quality materials and is affordably priced. With this adapter any hand trimmer can be transformed into a power trimmer. The adapter is made to fit the Original Classic and .50 BMG case trimmers.
The handle is simply removed from the trimmer and replaced with this adapter. Using a power drill or electric screwdriver is all that is required for power. In addition the stop collar and cutter shaft do not change allowing accurate case length settings to be perfectly maintained.
The Forster Primer Pocket Chamfering Tool is made from steel and designed to last. With this tool someone who enjoys reloading can chamfer thousands of cases with complete consistency. In addition uniformity and depth are controlled simply by setting the stop collar.
To use this chamfering tool the case mouth is held over the primer pocket center and the crimp removed by turning the trimmer handle all without using collets. You will see consistent ignition as well as less occurrence of misfires since primer and powder residue from the case pockets will be eliminated.

While a case is in the Quick-change Jaws it is supported by spring-loaded jaws that contact the base of the cannelure for more positive extraction. The jaws are also self acting so when a cartridge is placed in the die and the handle of the Co-Ax Press is activated the jaws can open and close on the cartridge case. When the handle is raised the jaws automatically open and release the case.
This complete assembly contains everything you would need to easily swap out a single side of the “S” or “LS” Shell Holder Jaws for all compatible cases in any of the configurations listed below :
- S-Large – holds .468" to .562" rim
- S-Small – holds .343" to .422" rim
- LS-Large – holds .531" to .625" rim
- LS-Small – holds .312" to .375" rim
With Quick-change Jaws you simply remove the 10-24 x 5/8" Button Head Screws (028271-020) and replace the jaws to get ready for the next size of case and die. No need to take apart the Shell Holder Jaws; swap or flip sides and spring-load the jaws; and reassemble. An alternative for other calibers is the Shell Holder Adapter Plate for Co-Ax Press though it does not allow a cartridge to float as with the Forster “S” and “LS” Shell Holder Jaws.

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.
