L.E. Wilson Stainless Steel Chamber Type Micrometer Seater Die Base

Description

This is the stainless steel base that pairs with L.E. Wilson's chamber type micrometer seater dies, and while it looks like a simple little stand, it does real work on the bench. It gives the inline seater die a flat, stable footing when you bump it with a mallet or run it under an arbor press, so the die stays put and your seating pressure goes straight down the line instead of wandering.

What the Wilson Stainless Seater Base Does

The big job here is keeping the case primer from touching the seating surface. When the primer bottoms out instead of the case head, you get inconsistent seating depth, and in precision reloading that's exactly the kind of variable you're trying to kill. By giving the case head a clean, square surface to rest against, the base helps every round seat to the same spot so your bullet depth stays honest from the first case to the last.

Built to Match Your L.E. Wilson Micrometer Seater

Machined from stainless steel like the dies it supports, this base is made to last and shrug off the wear that comes from years of bench use. L.E. Wilson has been building precision hand loader tools in Washington State since 1936, and their inline chamber dies are a favorite among benchrest and long range handloaders because they take the threads out of the seating operation and hold the bullet in line with the case. The base is part of that system, giving the whole setup the steady foundation it needs to deliver the alignment those dies are known for.

If you already run a Wilson stainless chamber type micrometer seater, this base is the natural companion, and it's a smart replacement to keep on hand if your original ever gets lost or worn. Part number BSB-STA.
