FORSTER Bench Rest® Seating Die 8x68S #023791

Forster created the first Die of its kind on the market, and it remains still the best Straight Seating Die available. The sliding Die chamber has a channel for the bullet concentrically slightly larger than the bullet diameter. This tight fit ensures a straight (coaxial) installation.

The hand-polished bullet seating stem provides consistent reloads. The seating Die fits most standard reloading presses. Its non-crimp style offers precision, consistency, and perfect alignment.

Years ago, Forster/Bonanza obtained U.S. patent #3,440,923 for the original Bench Rest Seating Die design. That patent covered the use of a specially machined, tight-fitting chamber that holds the case, bullet, and seating stem all in perfect alignment. This innovative chamber design is still the trademark of our Bench Rest seating Dies, as it represents the primary system of all "in-line" seating systems, supporting 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 new ballistic bullets designed and to match most low drag (VLD) bullets. Our tight fit chamber (part #P-30) made with single-piece reamers ensures concentricity and precision.
