Forster Ultra Micrometer Seater Die – 303 British U00103

Forster offers an extremely high quality micrometer bench rest style seater die in 303 British as part of their Bench Rest product line.  The die is designed to keep the bullet and cartridge case in perfect alignment while the seating operation is carried out.  This is accomplished with the use of a tight fitting precision ground spring loaded sleeve.  This die has micrometer adjustment, which allows the user to adjust bullet seating depth by 0.0005 inches.  The die contacts the bullet at the ogive, which reduces the effect of bullet to bullet variation. The dial is easily read as the numbers are precision machined and outlined in bright white.

This die will not crimp.  A simpler version of the die without the micrometer adjustment feature is available at Forster Bench Rest Seater Die – 303 British 006241

For those of you who wish to see how the die is constructed, Forster has a video showing disassembly available to watch here.
