The Forster Bench Rest Seater Die for 260 Rem (6.5-08) was the first of its kind to utilize a close fitting chamber that holds the case, bullet, and seating stem all in perfect alignment, allowing reloaders to produce exceptionally straight ammunition. The die supports the entire outside diameter of the sized case rather than just the bullet and case neck, delivering the coaxial accuracy demanded by precision shooters and benchrest competitors.
Each die is manufactured from high quality steel carefully machined to very close tolerances and hand polished both before and after the heat-treating process to guarantee an extra smooth finish. The seater die adapts to most standard reloading presses and provides non-crimping style accuracy, consistency, and perfect alignment. The seating stem has plenty of clearance to allow any bullet to be seated off the ogive and not the tip, making it compatible with special bullet designs such as very low drag (VLD) bullets.
Forster created the first die of its kind on the market, and it’s still the best straight-line seater die anywhere. All Forster reloading dies feature the Forster Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring that tightens the two ends of the split ring instead of tightening a hex screw directly onto the threads of the die body. For reloaders seeking maximum precision in the 260 Rem cartridge, this proven seater die remains an industry standard.
