forster bushing bump neck die

[vulpesvulpes]

I'm having my first 6mmbr built at the moment and so I'm hunting up some dies.
so is anyone using the new bushing bump neck die from forster if so what do you think of them,are they a good buy?
Also will I need a full length die also or will this die do all I need?
Also what do you guys think of the forster seating die for 6mmbr.
Any advice you be great
Thanks

I'm in the same situation. I am going to go with a Redding FL type S sizer or a custom Harrels sizer. For seating...Wilson.

I'm also rebarreling my rig to a 6mmBR. As for the seating die, I went with the Forster Ultra seating die. These dies provide very minimal runout, easy to use, and very accurate with the micrometer attachment.

I was probably going to go with the bushing bump die they have also, but some people on here have said that there bushings may not be as accurate as stated,i.e. a .266 is actually a .265). I decided to go with a Redding Type S FL die and these can do what the Forster does and a little bit more. If you are getting a custom chamber for the 6mmBR, there won't be as much springback going on,compared to a big bore), so by FL sizing you won't be working your brass as much. You can also just push the shoulder back .002" from a fired cartridge. With the Redding,where bushings are very accurate and you can also use Wilson bushings, as I have done, but the Forster exclusively uses just there bushings) you can use use the bushing to just size a portion of the neck with a simple adjustment,some BR shooter size only 1/8" of the neck for tension). You can also remove the expander ball and replace it where the bushing will only be sizing the neck, very versatile die. Hope this helps.

Get the Type "S" Bushing Match Dies which comes with the micrometer seater.

I bought the Comp dies for my 6BR but find that the micrometer on the neck sizing die is next to useless as I size my necks the same everytime so no need for the micro adjustments.

That's just what I've ordered, s-type match set.
