The Forster 308 Winchester National Match Full-Length Die Set (brand part no. 018331) pairs a hand-machined full-length sizing die with a seating die for 308 Winchester, covering resizing and bullet seating in one two-die set. Because this is the National Match version, the sizing die bumps the shoulder back roughly 0.003 inch, the setback long favored by High Power/XTC shooters running the M1A/M14 platform. Forster Products machines the sizing die from a solid one-piece steel reamer and uses an elevated expander ball that keeps the neck aligned with the rest of the case for better concentricity. It’s built for handloaders doing precision and competition shooting who want a matched sizing-and-seating pair out of the box.
