L.E. Wilson has been the gold standard for precision seating dies for a long time, and this 25-06 Remington chamber type seater is a big reason why. Instead of threading into a standard press like a conventional seating die, this one is a hand die built to run with an arbor press. The case and bullet get completely captured inside the die body before a close-fitting stem pushes the bullet straight into the case. That full containment is what keeps everything aligned and takes most of the guesswork out of runout.
A conventional 7/8-14 threaded seating die has some play built into it, and that slop can show up as runout on your loaded rounds. The Wilson chamber type design positively controls both bullet and case alignment at the same time, so the bullet goes in concentric to the center axis of the case. Handloaders who measure their work regularly report seating that holds within a thousandth or two, which is why this style has such a loyal following among benchrest and long range crowds.
Every BS25-060 is turned from machined steel rather than cast, and each one is hand reamed to the correct headspace for the 25-06 Remington. The polished steel finish looks sharp and wipes clean. Because it is compact and does not need a full press, a lot of folks keep one in the range bag to tweak seating depth and test loads right where they shoot. Seating depth is set by adjusting the seating stem, and you can measure your changes with calipers as you dial things in.
Keep in mind this is a hand die meant for an arbor press, not a threaded die for a conventional press. If you are chasing consistent, concentric ammo for your 25-06 and already run or plan to run an arbor press, this is about as good as bullet seating gets. Made in the USA.
No, this is a chamber type hand die designed to be used with an arbor press rather than a standard 7/8-14 threaded press. The case and bullet are captured inside the die body and pressed together with the arbor press. Some handloaders even use palm pressure or a soft-faced mallet in a pinch, but an arbor press is the way to get the most out of it.
No, the BS25-060 is the standard chamber type seater, not the micrometer top version. You set seating depth by adjusting the seating stem and can confirm your changes with a set of calipers. If you want click-adjustable micrometer tops, L.E. Wilson offers those in a separate model.
The chamber type design positively controls both bullet and case alignment, which produces noticeably straighter ammo with less runout than a typical threaded seating die. That concentricity is a big deal for precision and long range accuracy. It is a favorite among benchrest handloaders for exactly that reason.
Yes, these chamber type seaters handle compressed loads without trouble. Because the die captures the case and bullet fully before seating, the bullet still goes in straight even under compression. Just use smooth, consistent pressure on your arbor press for the best results.
