Good..Better...Best(09/02/2011)
If I could give this product more than 5 stars then I would...And it deserves it... Similar products claim to do a good job but simply put, there is no concentricity issues at all with these dies... When the handle on the press is operated it is a single fluid motion that seats the projectile. My reloads are now more accurate than I have ever made them. EVERY reloader should have one of these. ABRACADABRA is usually a word saved for magicians but is truely at home with Forster products. In fact, I think they should change the dictionary to say ABRACADABRA & FORSTER mean the same thing.
The Best I've Found(18/12/2011)
I wish they made these for pistols!!! Perfect bullet alignment, and due to the design you can compact the powder, unlike with some other designs. The fact that it is one of the less expensive choices is an added plus. Always perfect OAL and perfectly repeatable. The only choice, in my opinion.
Does not work in a Dillon 1050 press(20/04/2016)
Seems well made, but I couldn't use it with my 1050. That needs to be in the description.
Good but needed some work(04/05/2017)
I use this to load for my AR, a Ruger Ranch Rifle and a TC Encore. It works fine but when I first received it some work was needed. I noticed that the sliding sleeve would catch partway up and found that the roll marking on the bottom of the sleeve was raised sufficiently to drag on the outer housing. It was significant and I have no doubt it would have caused issues. Also, the seater plug had a ridge around the bottom where the bullet entered that cause significant drag in the sleeve. A bit of careful stoning made things better although the seater still feels a bit rough in the sleeve. Roll marking after precision machining on the sleeve seems like a real bad idea.
Good die but not for VLD bullets(12/05/2018)
I have several of these Forster Ultra Micrometer Seating Dies in various calibers. All have worked very well with standard weight for caliber bullets of conventional shape. I bought this die to seat heavy for caliber bullets in a .223 bolt gun. Although the 80 grain Sierra Match King bullet is not technically a VLD design the seating stem of this die would not engage the bullet consistently. Seating depths would vary by a much as 10 thousandths of an inch. Sometimes the bullet tip would bottom out inside the cup of the seating stem. After diagnosing the problem I discovered Forster does not have a VLD stem available. I returned this die to Brownells and purchased another manufacturer's die that has a VLD stem. This is a very good seating die but perhaps not appropriate for long profile bullets.

Forster Micrometer seater die - .223 Rem(19/12/2016)
I purchased a Foster "micrometer seating die" (.223 Rem.) at the same time I purchased my Forster Co-Ax single stage press (several years ago). What a nice combination. The Forster Co-Ax press works beautifully when reloading rifle cartridges and their seating die produces consistent results with little or no run out. I use to use a Lee seating die and get "so-so" results. Not knocking Lee dies because I use them for most of my reloading in pistol and some rifle work (neck sizing - crimping). The Forster micro seating die is a great addition to my reloading arsenal of equipment. I just purchased another one in .308 Win. I believe that speaks for itself. Excellent quality and excellent control of COAL and run out. Great combination when used with a Co-Ax press.

Good..Better...Best(09/02/2011)
If I could give this product more than 5 stars then I would...And it deserves it... Similar products claim to do a good job but simply put, there is no concentricity issues at all with these dies... When the handle on the press is operated it is a single fluid motion that seats the projectile. My reloads are now more accurate than I have ever made them. EVERY reloader should have one of these. ABRACADABRA is usually a word saved for magicians but is truely at home with Forster products. In fact, I think they should change the dictionary to say ABRACADABRA & FORSTER mean the same thing.
The Best I've Found(18/12/2011)
I wish they made these for pistols!!! Perfect bullet alignment, and due to the design you can compact the powder, unlike with some other designs. The fact that it is one of the less expensive choices is an added plus. Always perfect OAL and perfectly repeatable. The only choice, in my opinion.
Does not work in a Dillon 1050 press(20/04/2016)
Seems well made, but I couldn't use it with my 1050. That needs to be in the description.
Good but needed some work(04/05/2017)
I use this to load for my AR, a Ruger Ranch Rifle and a TC Encore. It works fine but when I first received it some work was needed. I noticed that the sliding sleeve would catch partway up and found that the roll marking on the bottom of the sleeve was raised sufficiently to drag on the outer housing. It was significant and I have no doubt it would have caused issues. Also, the seater plug had a ridge around the bottom where the bullet entered that cause significant drag in the sleeve. A bit of careful stoning made things better although the seater still feels a bit rough in the sleeve. Roll marking after precision machining on the sleeve seems like a real bad idea.
Good die but not for VLD bullets(12/05/2018)
I have several of these Forster Ultra Micrometer Seating Dies in various calibers. All have worked very well with standard weight for caliber bullets of conventional shape. I bought this die to seat heavy for caliber bullets in a .223 bolt gun. Although the 80 grain Sierra Match King bullet is not technically a VLD design the seating stem of this die would not engage the bullet consistently. Seating depths would vary by a much as 10 thousandths of an inch. Sometimes the bullet tip would bottom out inside the cup of the seating stem. After diagnosing the problem I discovered Forster does not have a VLD stem available. I returned this die to Brownells and purchased another manufacturer's die that has a VLD stem. This is a very good seating die but perhaps not appropriate for long profile bullets.

Forster Micrometer seater die - .223 Rem(19/12/2016)
I purchased a Foster "micrometer seating die" (.223 Rem.) at the same time I purchased my Forster Co-Ax single stage press (several years ago). What a nice combination. The Forster Co-Ax press works beautifully when reloading rifle cartridges and their seating die produces consistent results with little or no run out. I use to use a Lee seating die and get "so-so" results. Not knocking Lee dies because I use them for most of my reloading in pistol and some rifle work (neck sizing - crimping). The Forster micro seating die is a great addition to my reloading arsenal of equipment. I just purchased another one in .308 Win. I believe that speaks for itself. Excellent quality and excellent control of COAL and run out. Great combination when used with a Co-Ax press.
