thought i will give my input on these new Forster 223 BR dies, i purchased the 2 die set, they do produce a load that has 1/2 the runout of my other 223 dies, i am seeing .0015 max runout.and have shot my tightest groups so far with my S&W MP 15T, for awhile i was not super impressed with the MP...

HI Ron Thanks, i did read what you posted, wonder if i bottomed the shell holder against the body by a few thousands and try it, i left Forster an email, but still awaiting on their response. Chet

HI Ron maybe i should redo my post, the post was about bullet seating. Chet

picked up a set of Forster dies i picked up a new set of Forster 004101 BR 223 dies set, question i have is when doing the bullet seating, are you guys using the shell holder to contact the bottom of the die to control the OLAL, or using the non contact shell holder to the die and using the...

been reloading alot of 223 lately, i notice when i use the Imperial wax for the outside lube, then i take a cotton swab with some wax on it and use it inside the neck for a lube when FS. after awhile i got thinking when i do my powder drops i see powder sticking to the necks, i am not 100% sure...

You are right Jeff, but was itchin to try another set, the lee's were doing their job, i hope i make some progress on a bit tighter groups out of my Ar 15 with the Forster Die set i ordered. Chet

i am presently loading 223 for my ar 15 using the Lee standard dies, not having any issues, but i want to try a new 223 full sizing die from another company, was looking at the RCBS brand, i am curious what are the differences between the standard die, X die and the competition dies, also the...

To be honest, i have neck bushing dies for my 6br and 6.5x284, they are great. IF the neck wall thickness is consistent, as for my 223 for my AR 15 i have alot of mixed brass ect, neck bushings are really not what i want here in this case, i have more constant neck tension using a mandrel, so...

the way i reload my 223 now is after i FS the brass, i notice the bullets are sort of hard to seat, a lot of neck tension, so i made a mandrel that is .002 larger the the ball expander, so i have a separate operation where i run the mandrel down in the neck and then i have perfect neck tension...

I am looking for a new set of 223 reloadings dies, i am presently using a lee set and have no issues shooting them out of my AR 15, but i have been hearing alot of good thing on the new carbide dies, are the Dillon dies the way to go, they are costly at over 125.00 dollars are they going to...

hi TfflHndn I have plenty of WSF, but never could find a powder charge for the 115, i figured the WSF was better for the heavier bullets. Chet

have been having excellent results with power pistol powder and the coated 9mm 115gr bullets in my Glock, Power Pistol is getting scarce around here, has anyone tried any other powders that were good in the 115 coated bullets, i tried some unique and w231, hope i can fond a good alternative for...
