Forster Bench Rest Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die 22 Nosler

• Controlled neck tension: The Competition Bushing Neck Die design lets the reloader tune neck sizing to the brass and bullet combination, helping produce more consistent bullet release and more uniform ammunition.
• Shoulder bump with neck sizing: This Bench Rest Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die decaps and neck sizes while also bumping the shoulder, which helps maintain reliable chambering without working the entire case body more than necessary.
• Bench-rest oriented construction: The steel die body is built for repeated setup and long service life, making it well suited to careful load development for .22 Nosler rifles.
• Standard press fit: The 7/8"-14 thread works with standard reloading presses, so it integrates easily into established bench setups without special adapters.
• Single-caliber focus: Built for .22 Nosler, this die is intended for reloaders who want a cartridge-specific sizing tool that supports repeatable case preparation for rifle ammunition.

About the Bench Rest Series

Forster Bench Rest dies are built for reloaders who want more control over cartridge alignment, sizing consistency, and repeatable ammunition preparation. Within the company’s reloading lineup, the Bench Rest series sits as a precision-focused family intended for careful handload development rather than basic bulk loading. These dies are widely used for rifle cartridges where uniform neck tension, consistent case geometry, and dependable chamber fit matter to accuracy.

The series includes sizing and seating tools designed around practical precision. In the case of the bushing-based models, the system allows the reloader to fine-tune how much the neck is worked, which can help reduce unnecessary brass stress while tailoring case grip to a specific bullet. Across the Bench Rest range, the design philosophy centers on controlled case handling, durable steel construction, and compatibility with standard loading equipment. That makes the series a strong fit for precision shooting, varmint and hunting ammunition, and any application where reloaders want a more deliberate approach to case preparation than a general-purpose die typically provides.

About the Forster Bench Rest Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die 22 Nosler

The Forster Bench Rest Bushing Bump Neck Sizing Die 22 Nosler is a cartridge-specific rifle die made for reloaders who want to size the neck, remove the spent primer, and apply a controlled shoulder bump in one step. For .22 Nosler shooters, that combination is useful when the goal is to preserve much of the fired case fit while still maintaining smooth chambering in a rifle that is expected to feed reliably.

The key advantage of the bushing-style Competition Bushing Neck Die system is control. Instead of treating every case the same way with a fixed internal neck dimension, the bushing-based approach allows the reloader to choose how firmly the neck holds the bullet. In practice, that makes it easier to tune ammunition for a specific brass lot, bullet diameter, or accuracy objective. Because the die also bumps the shoulder, it supports repeatable headspace management without fully sizing the case body.

Steel construction gives the die the rigidity and wear resistance expected from a bench tool that may see frequent use during load development. The standard 7/8"-14 thread keeps installation straightforward on common presses, and the single-die format suits reloaders who already have a dedicated workflow and want a specialized sizing tool rather than a broad multi-die set. Overall, this model is aimed at careful .22 Nosler handloading where consistency at the loading bench translates into more predictable rifle performance.
