Forester 204R bump ?die

Post by Fat Albert »

Dose anyone here have and uses a Forester 204R bump neck die? Did it work? Did the neck inserts that came with the die work for your brass? Could you bump the shoulder without the inserts? Thanks

Never used a Forester but the concept is simple enough. Yes you should be able to bump the shoulders without the bushing installed.

FWIW stone down the shell holder or base of die and any necksizer will become a bump die. Used to make my own before Forester caught on. FL size everything now tho.
