Forster Full Length Sizing Die 6x47 Lapua, Bench Rest

• Bench Rest full-length sizing: Sizes the case neck, shoulder and body in one operation, helping fired 6x47 Lapua brass chamber reliably while keeping case preparation consistent for repeatable loads.
• Integrated decapping and neck expansion: The die de-primes and expands the case neck during sizing, reducing handling steps and streamlining case prep on the loading bench.
• Steel die construction: A steel body stands up to repeated use and maintains precise internal geometry, which matters when loading high-volume batches or chasing uniform ammunition.
• Standard 7/8"-14 thread: The common press thread makes this die easy to fit into most conventional reloading presses, so it integrates into established loading setups without special adapters.
• Single-die format: Supplied as an individual full-length sizing die rather than a set, it suits reloaders who want to add or replace only the sizing stage in an existing Bench Rest die arrangement.

About the Bench Rest Series

Forster Bench Rest dies are built for reloaders who want precise cartridge preparation with straightforward, durable tooling. Within the company’s reloading lineup, the Bench Rest series sits as a precision-oriented option for shooters assembling ammunition for varmint rifles, target rifles and other accuracy-focused bolt-action platforms. The series is known for combining practical bench use with tight manufacturing tolerances rather than adding unnecessary complexity.

In this family, the full-length sizing dies are designed to handle the core case-prep tasks in one step: they size the neck, shoulder and body, remove the spent primer and expand the neck for the next loading cycle. That makes them especially useful for reloaders who need ammunition that chambers smoothly in rifles cut to minimum dimensions. Across the wider Bench Rest range, Forster also pairs these dies with its seating dies for users who want a matched system built around alignment, consistency and repeatable setup. The result is a series that appeals to careful handloaders who value dependable press feel, precise case sizing and compatibility with standard reloading equipment.

About the Forster Full Length Sizing Die 6x47 Lapua, Bench Rest

The Forster Full Length Sizing Die 6x47 Lapua, Bench Rest is made for reloaders working with a modern, accuracy-focused rifle cartridge that is often chosen for target shooting and precision varmint applications. In this role, a full-length sizing die offers a practical advantage over neck-only sizing when reliable chambering matters across repeated firing cycles, especially with brass that has been fired in the same rifle multiple times. By sizing the case body and shoulder as well as the neck, the die helps return brass to dimensions suited for smooth feeding and bolt closure.

This model also combines decapping and neck expansion into the sizing process, which keeps case preparation efficient and reduces the number of separate operations needed at the bench. For reloaders building consistent 6 mm loads for the 6x47 Lapua cartridge, that simpler workflow helps maintain rhythm and repeatability during longer loading sessions. The steel construction supports long service life and stable fit in the press, while the standard adjustment layout keeps setup familiar for users who prefer conventional die operation over specialized bushing systems.

Because it uses the common 7/8"-14 thread, this die fits a wide range of presses and works easily within established reloading setups. As a single Bench Rest sizing die, it is a sensible choice for replacing a worn die, building a custom die combination or pairing with a separate seating die to create a cartridge-specific precision loading setup.
