The Forster Bench Rest Ultra Micrometer Seater Die for .270 WSM stands out in the market of reloading tools due to its exceptional precision and meticulous design. Unlike standard seating dies, this model incorporates a patented coaxial design with an advanced micrometer adjustment head, allowing reloaders to fine-tune bullet seating depth in incredibly precise 0.0005-inch increments. This level of control is paramount for achieving optimal bullet-to-bore alignment and consistent cartridge overall length (COAL), which directly translates to enhanced accuracy and improved ballistic performance for cartridges. Specifically engineered for rifle calibers like the .270 WSM, it's a critical tool for hunters and sport shooters who demand the absolute best in ammunition consistency, crucial for hitting distant targets or ensuring ethical hunting shots. Constructed from robust, hardened steel with polished internal surfaces, it ensures smooth, non-marring bullet seating every time, preventing bullet deformation and preserving concentricity. This Die helps to achieve superior concentricity and minimal runout, making your handloads indistinguishable from, or even superior to, factory match-grade ammunition.

Features
Ultra-Precise Micrometer Adjustment: This die features a highly sensitive micrometer adjustment system, allowing for unparalleled control over bullet seating depth. Adjustments in increments of just 0.0005 inches ensure that reloaders can achieve the exact bullet seating necessary for optimal accuracy and consistent ammunition performance, crucial for demanding applications like precision hunting or competitive shooting. Its precise control over seating depth helps minimize variations between rounds.
Straight-Line Bullet Seating: Manufactured with a coaxial design, the Forster Bench Rest Ultra Micrometer Seater Die employs a non-crimping, straight-line seating operation. This design ensures that the bullet is seated perfectly concentric to the case neck, reducing bullet runout and cartridge deformation. The result is superior bullet alignment which directly translates to improved projectile stability and accuracy downrange, making it a favorite among accuracy-focused reloaders and hunters.
Exceptional Material and Craftsmanship: Crafted from high-quality, hardened steel, this die is built to withstand rigorous use while maintaining its precision over time. The internal surfaces are meticulously polished to prevent scratching or deforming bullets during the seating process. This commitment to material quality and manufacturing excellence ensures the die's longevity and its ability to consistently produce high-quality, custom-tailored ammunition.
Optimized for Rifle Reloading: Specifically designed for rifle cartridges, this seater die excels in creating ammunition for discerning shooters. Its ability to precisely control bullet seating depth, combined with its straight-line seating mechanism, is particularly beneficial for bottleneck rifle cases, common in hunting and sport shooting. It helps achieve optimal pressure curves and ballistic performance, making it an essential tool for reloaders aiming for peak performance from their .270 WSM firearms.
