Forster Ultra Micrometer Full Die Set with Bushings 6.5x47mm Lapua

• Bushing full-length sizing system: Sizes the case body and bumps the shoulder while letting neck tension be tuned with interchangeable bushings, helping handloaders balance reliable chambering with more controlled brass working.
• Ultra Micrometer seater die: The micrometer-adjustable seating die makes small seating-depth changes easy to repeat, which is useful when refining loads for consistent bullet jump and tighter groups.
• Alignment-focused seating design: Forster’s close-fitting seating arrangement keeps the case and bullet centered during seating, reducing the chance of bullet runout and supporting more uniform ammunition.
• Built for 6.5x47mm Lapua: This die set is configured for a cartridge widely used in precision rifle loading, giving reloaders a dedicated setup for repeatable sizing and seating work.
• Standard 7/8"-14 thread fit: The dies work with common reloading presses, so the set integrates easily into an established bench without requiring a proprietary mounting system.

About the Ultra Series

Forster Ultra die sets sit above the company’s standard rifle die sets for reloaders who want more control over ammunition geometry and neck tension. In the lineup, the series combines a full-length sizing die with an Ultra Micrometer seater die, giving the user a setup aimed at precise, repeatable adjustments rather than simple batch loading. The series is intended for precision rifle shooters, careful handloaders, and anyone developing loads where seating depth and case fit are adjusted in small increments.

A defining characteristic of the Ultra family is its focus on straight-line bullet seating and controlled case sizing. In bushing-equipped versions, the sizing die allows neck tension to be tuned with interchangeable bushings while still sizing the body and setting shoulder position for dependable chambering. The Ultra Micrometer seater adds a repeatable adjustment system that makes it easier to return to known seating settings during testing. Across the series, the design philosophy is practical: reduce unnecessary brass working, improve consistency from round to round, and give the reloader finer control over the variables that matter in precision reloading.

About the Forster Ultra Micrometer Full Die Set with Bushings 6.5x47mm Lapua

The Forster Ultra Micrometer Full Die Set with Bushings 6.5x47mm Lapua is a two-die rifle set built for reloaders who want both reliable full-length sizing and more deliberate control over neck tension. For the 6.5x47mm Lapua, that combination is especially useful because the cartridge is often loaded for accuracy-focused applications where small changes in case fit and seating depth can matter on target. The bushing full-length sizing die handles the core sizing tasks in one operation: it resizes the body, decaps the case, and bumps the shoulder while using a bushing-based neck-sizing approach to limit unnecessary working of the neck.

The practical advantage is that the die can support ammunition that chambers consistently while helping extend brass life compared with more aggressive neck sizing methods. The included Ultra Micrometer seater die complements that approach by making seating-depth changes easy to track and repeat. Instead of relying on trial-and-error stem movement, the micrometer head gives a clear reference when adjusting loads for bullet jump or when returning to a proven recipe.

Forster’s seating design is also centered on alignment. The seater is made to hold the case and bullet in close relationship during the seating stroke, which helps reduce runout and supports more uniform cartridge assembly. Combined with the steel sizing die construction and standard 7/8"-14 thread compatibility, this set fits naturally into a serious reloading bench where repeatability matters as much as raw output.

About Forster

Forster Products dates its history to 1935 and focuses on tools for precision reloading and gunsmithing. Based in Lanark, Illinois, the company states that its products are made in the United States. Its catalog covers reloading dies, case trimmers, headspace gauges, and sight-mounting fixtures, reflecting a long emphasis on bench equipment intended for careful measurement and repeatable setup.

Within rifle reloading, Forster is particularly known for products such as the Co-Ax Press and its Bench Rest and Ultra die lines. The company’s Bench Rest Seater Dies use a close-fitting chamber to help align the case and bullet during seating, a design approach that also explains the brand’s reputation among reloaders who prioritize concentricity and consistent ammunition assembly over speed alone.
