gaz6br Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 With a new rifle on the way in 6.5x47 I need new dies, I've always used redding but they seem pricey to me in that calibre. What do you guys think,? Cheers Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Forster are good for the money, well worth a look Yes, + 1 on that. Unless you're only loading one bullet design, pay the extra money for a set with the [micrometer top] Ultra-Seater. A single gradation on it is one thou' change to COAL or something so close you'll barely notice and it makes fine tuning the die setting so much quicker and easier.

I use the ultra seater for my 223 loadings. Very accurate micrometer on it and easier to read than the redding comp dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I used redding comp set for year's, and would of had the same for my 260, but no way for £200. I settled for a set of Forster for ahout £100. Happy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think,? Cheers Gaz I have just purchased some Forster dies with FL and micrometer seater for my upcoming 6.5x47. I have also purchased some Forster for the .223 NS and micrometer seater, I am happy with the quality and precision and am using them at the moment, needless to say i have not been disappointed and shall be buying them again for other calibers when needed. They are pricey though compared to cheaper brands but unfortunately for you there is not a lot of choice for the 6.5x47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
