Straight Shooters
The Forster Products Straight Shooters podcast is an open ended discussion between, reloaders, gunsmiths, precision shooters, and manufactures. We welcome you to come listen to, learn from and provide feedback to the Pros as we discuss challenges, innovations, and history of all things that add to the sport we love of precision shooting. Maybe you shoot PRS, F-Class, or coyotes, our goal is to not only provide some insight through testing we have done but to grow and learn as an industry/community.

The Hidden Mistake Costing You Accuracy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sometimes the biggest problems aren't caused by bad equipment—they're caused by rushing the process.
In this episode, we break down a real troubleshooting session inside the shop after running into dented bullets during load development. What started as a search for a seating die problem turned into a much bigger lesson about neck tension, seating force, brass preparation, and why changing one variable at a time matters.
We also discuss:
• Why bullets get dented during seating
• Neck tension vs. seating force
• Brass prep mistakes that create problems
• Berger bullets and seating pressure
• Forster seating die design
• AMP Press testing and what the data showed
• Reloading process vs. equipment
• 22 GT and 6 Creedmoor updates
• Josh's recent PRS podium finish
• Why slowing down often leads to better results
Whether you're a competitive PRS shooter, precision reloader, or just trying to build more consistent ammunition, this episode is packed with practical lessons that can save you time, frustration, and wasted components.
