The Forster Products Bench Rest Seater Die for .22 Hornet is engineered for reloaders who demand ammunition concentricity and straight bullets. If you're serious about precision rifle reloading — whether you're loading for small-game hunting, varmint shooting, or bench rest competition — this die addresses one of the biggest challenges in hand-loading: keeping your bullet axis aligned as you seat it into the case neck. Forster's bench rest seater dies were the first to introduce a close-fitting chamber that cradles the case, bullet, and seating stem together, ensuring all three components stay in perfect alignment throughout the seating stroke. That's the opposite of conventional fixed-chamber seating dies, which can let your bullet start in at an angle and throw off your round's straightness before you even fire it.
Built from precision steel and finished with hand polishing before and after heat treatment, this die is made to tight tolerances so you get consistent results year after year. The Forster Cross Bolt Die Locking Ring tightens from both ends of the split ring rather than threading a screw directly into the die itself, reducing wear and giving you a more stable lock when the die is mounted in your press.
This is the seating die only — it handles bullet seating for .22 Hornet cartridges. If you're already running a Forster reloading setup or planning to build one, this die slots into a standard reloading press and pairs with your sizing, priming, and powder-charging dies to complete your load sequence.
| Cartridge | .22 Hornet |
| Die Type | Seater Die |
| Locking Ring Style | Forster Cross Bolt |
| Finish | Hand-polished |
A seater die inserts and seats the bullet into the case neck to your specified depth. The Forster Bench Rest Seater goes further by holding the case and bullet in precise alignment so the bullet slides straight into the case rather than at an angle.
Yes, a complete reloading setup requires a sizing die, primer tool, powder measure, and seating die. This product is the seating die only.
This die is compatible with standard reloading presses that use the industry-standard die threading. Check your press manual to confirm compatibility, or contact us if you have questions about your specific setup.
A bullet seated at an angle creates runout — the wobble of the bullet's axis as it rotates. Straighter bullets fly more consistently, shoot tighter groups, and are especially important for bench rest, long-range, and varmint accuracy.
