Description

Precision handloaders know that neck tension is one of those little details that separates a good reload from a great one, and this L.E. Wilson .262 steel neck sizer die bushing is how you take control of it. It fits into Wilson bushing-type neck sizing dies and bushing-style full-length sizing dies, letting you size the outside of the case neck to the exact diameter your brass and bullet combo calls for. Swap bushings to fine-tune how firmly the neck grips the bullet, and you get the consistency that shows up on paper.

Why the .262 Bushing Matters for Neck Tension

The number stamped on the bushing refers to the sized diameter at the middle of the bushing, which is reamed with a slight taper. Because the case neck only reaches that center section, you can flip the bushing over with the markings facing down toward the case to squeeze out a touch more sizing when you want it. That small trick gives you two useful settings out of one bushing, which comes in handy when you're chasing the sweet spot in a load.

Picking the Right L.E. Wilson Neck Bushing Size

Figuring out your size is straightforward. Measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round where the bullet sits, then subtract .002 to .003 inches to allow for brass springback and leave proper tension. You can also measure your case neck wall thickness, multiply by two, add your bullet diameter, and subtract that same .002 to .003. Either method lands you on the right bushing for your brass.

Built From Hardened Steel to Last

These bushings are machined in the USA from hardened steel and made in .001-inch increments, so there's a size for just about any caliber and any level of neck turning you're doing. Having a few neighboring sizes on the bench is common practice for reloaders who like to tune, and this .262 slots right into that lineup. It's a small part that pulls real weight toward tight, repeatable ammo.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dies does the L.E. Wilson .262 neck sizer bushing fit?

It drops into Wilson bushing-type neck sizing dies as well as Wilson bushing-style full-length sizing dies. The bushings freely interchange across Wilson's bushing-type lineup, so you can keep a range of sizes on hand and swap them as needed. Keep in mind the die itself is sold separately.

How do I know if .262 is the right bushing size for my load?

Measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round where the bullet seats, then subtract .002 to .003 inches to account for brass springback. Alternatively, measure your neck wall thickness, double it, add your bullet diameter, and subtract that same .002 to .003. If the result lands near .262, this is your bushing.

Can one bushing give me two levels of neck tension?

Yes. The marked size refers to the middle of the bushing, which is reamed with a .003-inch taper, and the case neck only reaches that center. Flip the bushing so the markings face down toward the case and you'll get slightly tighter sizing, which is a handy way to fine-tune without buying another bushing.

What is the .262 bushing made of and where is it made?

It's machined from hardened steel for durability and consistent sizing over long reloading sessions. Like the rest of L.E. Wilson's bushings, it's made in the USA. Wilson has been building precision reloading tools for decades, so these are a trusted choice on the bench.
