I recently bought a Forster FL die for my 223 varmint setup. I wanted best accuracy without getting into the neck bushing/ turning realm and be able to switch brass and maintain tolerances. My chamber is cut tight. With this die set up per directions, it gives me .0015-.002 shoulder setback, very consistant, and .003 neck tension. but to me, the best part of this die is the way the expander ball is set close to the neck. Just as they claim, you hardly notice the resistance on the downstroke compared to regular expander type dies. And, my runout is less than .001. I'm using a Redding T7 and a RC4 press.
I also have the forster ultramicrometer seating die which is very repeatable. I can seat 75gr, switch to 52gr or anything inbetween, dial in the setting from my notes and its dead on. The only thing I don't like is the seating stem is cut so it touches too far out on the heavier bullets which makes variances on ogive more critical. Sorting definitely required.
For me, I've been using RCBS and Hornady, all future dies will be Forster for my accuracy. 6BR build is in the works.
