L.E. Wilson 6×47 Lapua Chamber Type Bullet Seating Die

Description

If you load for the 6×47 Lapua and care about tight groups, the L.E. Wilson chamber type bullet seating die is one of the simplest ways to get there. Instead of threading the case up into a die like a conventional press setup, this inline design captures the case and bullet inside a chamber that mimics your rifle, then seats the bullet straight down through a close-fitting stem. That approach takes the threads out of the seating operation entirely, which is a big part of why these dies have such a reputation for low runout and consistent seating.

How the 6×47 Lapua Wilson Seater Works

The die has essentially one moving part during seating. You set a primed, charged case on the base, balance the bullet on the case mouth, slide the die body over the top, and press the cap down with an arbor press until it bottoms out. The case stays stationary while the stem pushes the bullet home, so both the case and bullet are held in alignment the whole way. It will also work with a soft-faced mallet or palm pressure in a pinch, but an arbor press is the way to get the smoothest, most repeatable results. Seating depth is set using the 3/8"-24 threads in the cap, locked down with the set screw.

Built for the Precision 6×47 Lapua Handloader

This is the standard chamber type seater, not the micrometer top model, so seating depth is dialed in by adjusting the stem and checking a dummy round with your calipers. It comes with the regular seating stem, which covers most conventional and boat tail bullets. If you run VLD or long-ogive hybrid bullets, a dedicated VLD stem is worth picking up separately so the stem contacts the ogive cleanly instead of pinching near the tip.

Machined in the USA to the tight tolerances Wilson is known for, this is a tool built to last and a staple on the loading bench for anyone chasing accuracy out of the 6×47 Lapua.
