If you handload 22-250 Remington and chase tight groups, the L.E. Wilson Bushing Neck Sizing Die is the kind of tool that separates good brass prep from great brass prep. Instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all expander, this stainless inline die uses interchangeable bushings so you can dial in exactly how much neck tension you want. Want a touch more grip for a heavy bullet or a lighter hold for a soft seat? Swap the bushing and you are set. It sizes the neck down to about 3/16 inch from the case mouth, a setup a lot of precision loaders swear by.
The magic here is eliminating the conventional expander ball. Pulling an expander back up through a sized neck tugs the brass around and can throw off concentricity. By skipping it and sizing from the outside with a bushing, this die keeps runout low and works the brass less, which means your cases last longer before they need trimming or retire from the rotation. Bushings aren't included, so you pick the diameter that matches your brass wall thickness and bullet for the exact neck tension you're after. The die will accept either Wilson or Redding neck sizing bushings.
This is machined from stainless steel and hardened to L.E. Wilson's specs, so corrosion and wear aren't things you'll worry about. These are the kind of dies that get handed down. The body is reamed for close bushing fit and consistent alignment case after case, and a decapping rod is included to knock out spent primers.
This is an inline hand die, so it runs with an arbor press rather than threading into a standard press. The neck die base is sold separately. You lightly lube the neck, press the case into the die, then flip it to decap and push the sized case back out. It's a slower, more deliberate rhythm than a progressive setup, but that's the whole point. For folks loading for bench rest, varmint rigs, or any 22-250 where accuracy comes first, this is precision brass prep done right.
Yes. This is an inline hand die, so it's designed to run with an arbor press rather than threading into a standard 7/8-14 press. The neck die base is also sold separately and is needed to decap and eject the sized case. In a pinch some reloaders tap it with a plastic mallet, but an arbor press gives you the smooth, repeatable feel this die is built for.
No, the bushings are sold separately so you can match the diameter to your exact brass and bullet combination. The die will accept either L.E. Wilson or Redding neck sizing bushings. A good starting point is to measure a loaded round at the neck and subtract about .003 inch to pick your bushing size.
A bushing die lets you control neck tension precisely by swapping bushings, and it sizes the neck from the outside without a conventional expander ball. Skipping the expander improves concentricity and reduces runout since nothing is dragged back up through the neck. It also works the brass less, which extends case life over many loadings.
This is a neck sizing die, so it only sizes the case neck and does not touch the body or bump the shoulder. Many precision loaders neck size only for several firings, then eventually run a full-length or body die to set the shoulder back once cases get tight in the chamber. If you want to size the body and shoulder at the same time as the neck, that's L.E. Wilson's bushing full-length die, which is a different tool.
