The perfect addition to your workbench!
If you’ve been looking for a simple, foolproof way to measure and throw your powder charges, look no further than Forster’s Bench Rest® Powder Measure. The design of the iron-cast constructed tool features a long, narrow, powder-charge reservoir that minimizes shearing.
Achieve repeatability within 1/10th of one grain while throwing a charge every 4 seconds!
“Forster’s Bench Rest Powder Measure is a welcome addition to any bench. The precision design and “CAST IRON” construction of this measure is part of the Forster tradition. The heart of the measure is the measuring chamber contained in the massive cast iron “Charging Arm.” The mass of the arm in conjunction with the small “Cutting Surface” in the measure itself provides for smoothest rotation of any measure on the market. Large “IMR” extruded powders do not impede the smooth operation of the Bench Rest Powder Measure making it the most repeatable measure on the market.”–Vernon Smith, Engineer and Reloader since 1974
“Forster’s Powder Measure throws the IMR stick powders I use (IMR 4895,4064,4320) easier and more accurately than the other measures I own or have owned, those being Redding, Hornady, Belding & Mull.”The Powder Measure (order number 010631) and optional Stand (order number 017941) are now available for sale and ready for immediate shipment.–Chris Straughn, Longtime Reloader and Tool Aficionado
The most reliable means to test rifle chamber length
Smart gunsmiths and shooters have long selected our headspace gages because each is manufactured from top-quality, hardened steel and precision ground to *American National Standards Institute SAAMI tolerances.
New to our headspace gage line are the 350 Legend Rimless Headspace Gages in GO, NO-GO and Field lengths. Like every one of our headspace gages, these are:
- Ground to a very exacting ±.00015″ headspace tolerance to ensure accurate testing of a rifle’s chamber.
- Carefully inspected with NIST-certified measurement tools.
- Made with painstaking care and rigorous manufacturing standards.
*American National Standards Institute, New York, NY, represents and serves the diverse interests of more than 270,000 companies and organizations and 30 million professionals worldwide by promoting and facilitating voluntary consensus standards and conformity assessment systems, and safeguarding their integrity.
3-in-1 Case Mouth Cutter adds the 257 caliber
The 257 caliber has been added to our list of available 3-in-1 Case Mouth Cutters. This tool combines case trimming, inside deburring, and outside deburring into one fast, easy step. Used on our Original Case Trimmer, the 3-in-1 Case Mouth Cutter uses high-quality blades made from U.S.-manufactured carbide. If used exclusively on brass cases, these blades should never need sharpening.
Gun Safety Rules
- Always handle a firearm as if it is loaded. Whenever you pick up a firearm understand its function and check for yourself to see if it is loaded. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
- Know your target and know what is beyond your target, whether you are at the range or in the woods.
