Forster Full Length Bench Rest die set, 6.8 Remnigton SPC (004622) - in very nice shape. Got out of the 6.8 a while back and don't need these anymore. Forster dies are not cheap, but a better off-the-shelf die set just ain't out there. These run well over $100 new if and when you can find them in stock. $85 $70 shipped Payment by check, money order, or Zelle is fine, but absolutely NO paypal.

Does the bullet seater also crimp? I ask as a "bump" for your thread, and also if someone is looking at these that is pertinent information. I only have 6.8's in AR platforms and I must crimp all of my loads to prevent bullet movement in the case for those rounds in the magazine.

No, these dies will not crimp.
I never found crimping necessary at all, and I would suggest that if your bullets are getting set back during recoil or chambering (but especially in the magazine under the recoil of a 6.8!!), then your expander ball is too large.

I have never had set-back happen, but I have just always crimped as a course of safety... Imagine being out in the middle of a field 2 miles from your truck at 2AM hunting hogs, 3 hours away from home, and realizing your ammo is no good.... hence why I always put a slight crimp-nothing major-on all of my 6.8 rounds. Maybe it's not necessary, but I'd sure hate to find out the hard way.
Another bump... Hopefully someone will snatch these up soon...
