Well I was going to get a set of Forster 300 Blackout dies with the Ultra Micrometer............And God only know when they will be in stock......:mad:


So If I just order a set of Redding .300/221 can a new Redding micrometer seater be added to the .300/221 seater die? I saw they had a new one, but I didnt know if would fit on a .300/221

My Bolt gun is 300Blackout and MY AR is 300Whipser both chambered with PTG reamers. The Redding dies work great for me..:grin:

Not sure if the micrometer top will fit. I kinda doubt it. You might want to give them a call. I have called them a few times and they were always very helpfull.

That said, I really like Redding dies. About all I use if I have a choice.

I prefer 300/221 Redding dies myself.

I've heard too many stories about the Forster dies being a fuzz off when forming brass from 223.
