Forster Full Length Sizing Die 26 Nosler, Bench Rest

• Full-length sizing for reliable chambering: This die sizes the neck, shoulder and body of the case in one operation, helping fired brass return to dimensions that feed and chamber smoothly in hunting and general rifle use.
• Integrated decapping function: The die removes spent primers during sizing, which streamlines case preparation and reduces the number of separate steps on the loading bench.
• Bench Rest series precision: Built as part of Forster’s Bench Rest line, this die is intended for reloaders who want consistent case sizing and better control over ammunition uniformity from batch to batch.
• Steel construction: A steel die body stands up well to repeated use and helps maintain dimensional stability over long loading sessions, which matters when producing consistent rifle ammunition.
• Standard 7/8"-14 thread fit: The die works with presses that use the common 7/8"-14 thread pattern, making it easy to integrate into an established reloading setup without special adapters.

About the Bench Rest Series

Forster Bench Rest dies are designed for reloaders who want more control over ammunition consistency than basic loading tools typically provide. In the Forster lineup, the Bench Rest series sits as a precision-focused option for rifle handloaders building ammunition for hunting, target shooting and careful load development. The series is known for combining practical bench use with close attention to alignment, repeatability and dimensional consistency.

Within this family, Forster offers tools such as Full Length Sizing Dies, standard Bench Rest Seater Dies and Ultra Micrometer Seater Dies, allowing reloaders to build a die setup around their preferred workflow. The design philosophy is straightforward: keep case handling precise, reduce unnecessary variation and make adjustments predictable. For rifle cartridges, that means sizing dies that restore fired brass for dependable chambering and seating dies built to support straighter bullet alignment. The result is a product family that appeals to shooters who value repeatable setup, careful ammunition assembly and the kind of mechanical consistency that supports accurate rifle performance in the field or on the range.

About the Forster Full Length Sizing Die 26 Nosler, Bench Rest

The Forster Full Length Sizing Die 26 Nosler, Bench Rest is built for reloaders working with the .26 Nosler who need brass that chambers reliably while still supporting careful, consistent handloading. As a full-length sizing die, it handles the key reshaping tasks in one pass by sizing the case body, shoulder and neck while also decapping the spent primer. That makes it especially useful for rifle ammunition intended for repeat field use, where dependable feeding and chambering matter as much as accuracy.

This model uses a standard adjustment system and fits presses with the common 7/8"-14 thread, so it integrates easily into most conventional reloading benches. Its steel construction suits frequent use and gives the die the durability expected from a tool that will see repeated sizing cycles. Because it is a single full-length sizing die rather than a multi-die set, it is a practical choice for reloaders replacing a worn component, building a caliber-specific setup piece by piece or pairing it with a separate seating die of their choice.

For the 26 Nosler cartridge, full-length sizing is particularly relevant when brass must return to chamber-ready dimensions after firing. In practice, that helps maintain smooth bolt closure and more predictable function across repeated reloads. As part of the Forster Bench Rest line, this die is aimed at reloaders who want a straightforward sizing tool with a precision-oriented approach rather than a basic utility-only component.
