The Forster Products 005345 Full Length Sizing Die transforms 260 Remington brass preparation from a tedious chore into precision reloading. This professional-grade sizing die delivers consistent case dimensions that directly impact accuracy and brass longevity. Built to Forster's exacting manufacturing standards, it handles the 260 Remington cartridge's unique shoulder angle and case taper with exceptional precision.
What Makes This Different
Forster's proprietary steel composition and heat treatment process creates sizing dies that maintain dimensional stability under repeated use. The internal surface finish measures better than 8 RMS, reducing case scratching and extending brass life beyond standard dies. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, each die undergoes individual inspection with go/no-go gauges to ensure SAAMI specification compliance within 0.0005 inches.
Key Features
- Full-length sizing for complete case reformation and consistent chambering
- Precision-ground steel construction with proprietary heat treatment
- Internal surface finish better than 8 RMS for reduced case wear
- SAAMI specification compliance within 0.0005-inch tolerance
- Standard 7/8-14 threading fits all major reloading presses
- Includes lock ring for consistent die positioning
- Compatible with 260 Remington and 6.5-08 A-Square cartridges
Competitive shooters and precision handloaders rely on consistent case dimensions for repeatable accuracy. This sizing die produces cases that chamber smoothly while maintaining proper headspace relationships. The controlled sizing process prevents case head separation issues common with overworked brass. Temperature variations from -20°F to 140°F won't affect die dimensions, ensuring consistent results across seasonal shooting conditions.
