The Forster .308 Win bushing full length sizer die kit puts you in control of neck tension—a critical variable that separates mediocre handloads from match-grade ammo. Unlike standard sizing dies that treat all brass the same way, this system lets you dial in exactly how much grip your case neck exerts on the bullet, which directly impacts both accuracy and how long your brass lasts. Whether you're prepping Lake City surplus for precision rifle work or fire-forming magnum brass, the ability to fine-tune neck sizing tension is a game-changer for serious reloaders who want repeatable, accurate loads.
The kit comes with three bushings—332, 334, and 336—so you can match your preferred neck tension without guessing. The die sizes the case body and bumps the shoulder back to SAAMI minimum spec, ensuring reliable feeding and proper chamber fit. Meanwhile, the bushing does the actual neck work: it resizes just enough to hold the bullet securely without over-working the brass and needlessly shortening case life. That's the whole point—extract more reliable reloads per piece of brass by treating it with precision, not brute force.
Forster's bushing-style dies are a favorite among benchrest and long-range shooters for good reason. They separate the body/shoulder sizing operation from neck sizing, giving you independent control over each. If you're already sorting brass by weight and headspace, investing in a bushing die makes sense—it's the logical next step toward consistent, accurate ammunition.

The bushing sizes (332, 334, 336) refer to the diameter of the bushing bore in thousandths of an inch. The correct bushing depends on your bullet diameter and how much neck tension you want. Start with the size closest to your bullet diameter and adjust up or down based on how easily bullets seat and how consistent your loads shoot. The kit gives you three options to experiment with.
Yes, this is a standard full length sizer die that fits any press with a standard 7/8x14 TPI threaded die hole. Check your press manual if unsure.
A standard die sizes the entire neck in one operation, often working the brass more than necessary. This bushing die sizes only as much as needed to hold the bullet securely—no more. Less unnecessary deformation means brass tolerates more reload cycles before it work-hardens and fails.
Yes. The ability to control neck tension independently is highly valued by precision rifle reloaders and benchrest shooters who need consistent, accurate loads and want to maximize the life of quality brass.
