Description
If you're loading .22 Creedmoor for accuracy, the die doing the sizing matters just as much as the brass and bullets you feed it. This L.E. Wilson Full Length Sizing Die handles the whole job in one pass, pushing the shoulder back for correct headspace, bringing the body back to spec, and sizing the neck to whatever tension you want using interchangeable bushings. It drops into any standard 7/8"-14 reloading press, so it fits right in with the gear you already own.
What Sets the Wilson .22 Creedmoor Die Apart
The big difference here is the bushing system. Instead of yanking the neck over an expander ball on the way out, you pick a bushing that gives you the exact neck tension your load likes. That means less brass getting worked, better concentricity, and case life that stretches a lot further. Bushings are sold separately, which is actually a plus since you can fine-tune tension as your brass springs back over multiple firings. The die also comes with an adjustable-depth decapping rod and an extra decapping punch, and since there's no expander in the mix, your necks stay true.
Built to Last Like the Rest of the Wilson Line
L.E. Wilson has been machining reloading tools in Washington state since 1927, and this die carries that reputation. The body is cut from specially hardened steel, harder than a Grade 8 bolt, with stainless parts for a long working life. It's the kind of tool you set up once and keep running for years.
Getting the Most Out of It
Pair this die with a Wilson case gage and you'll be able to read exactly how much you're bumping the shoulder and keep yourself from overworking the brass. That combination is how precision loaders keep their ammo consistent round after round, whether you're chasing small groups on paper or stretching the .22 Creedmoor out to distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy bushings separately for this .22 Creedmoor die?
Yes. The die uses interchangeable neck sizing bushings that are sold separately so you can dial in the exact neck tension your load wants. A common approach is to measure a loaded round's neck diameter and subtract the amount of tension you're after to pick the right bushing size.
Will this Wilson die work in my standard reloading press?
It will. The die is cut with standard 7/8"-14 threads, so it fits most common single-stage and turret presses on the market. No special press or adapter is needed.
Does this die size the whole case or just the neck?
This is a full length sizing die, so it works the case body, sets the shoulder back for proper headspace, and sizes the neck all in one stroke. That makes it a good choice for brass headed back into a bolt gun or a gas gun where reliable chambering matters.
Why does the Wilson die skip the expander ball?
By controlling neck tension with a bushing instead of pulling the neck over an expander, the die works your brass less and helps keep necks concentric. The result is longer case life and more consistent bullet seating, which is exactly what precision loaders are after.
