Gang,
Anyone use the Forster bushing bump dies? They look like a good system with the extra neck bushings.
Opinions?

IMHO, One of the best dies out there. Started out with one set up for my 6BR. Picked up an extra set of bushings and now also use it on my 22BR.
More bushings for my 6.8 BR Wildcat. 8)
More bushings for a 30 BR. 8)
Throw in a body die when the case starts getting snug in the chamber and you're set. ;)
Shoulder bump, neck size with bushings and your brass will last a loooong time. ;)
20 to 25 firings and still going strong. ;D

Thanks, from what Ive read it seems like a great choice. What bullet seater do you prefer?

I prefer and use a RCBS Compitition seater dies. I get what I can (new or used if I can find them) and swap internal parts to fit the caliber I'am working with. I like the built in "side window". I can drop the bullet in the window and don't have to be concerned about smashing my fingers when the ram goes up. :o
And I modify the seater stems to fit the bullets I'am working with. Drill the stem deeper to not seat on the "tip" of the VLD Bergers. I get consistent seating depths that way.

I use the Forster bump die for my .308 FTR without the bushing. I use a Lee collet die and the bump die. I had concentricity issues when I used the bushing.
