Description
L.E. Wilson has been building precision reloading tools for generations, and this 260 Remington chamber type bullet seater is a perfect example of why benchrest and precision shooters keep coming back to them. Instead of threading into your press like a conventional die, this one works with an arbor press. You drop a charged and primed case in, set a bullet on the mouth, and the die body captures both the case and bullet before the close-fitting seating stem pushes the bullet straight home. That full capture is what keeps everything aligned and gives you the kind of runout numbers that make groups tighten up.
What Sets the Wilson 260 Rem Seater Apart
The magic here is the chamber-type design. The case sits stationary while the bullet is pressed down into the neck, so there's none of the rocking or tilting that can sneak in with looser conventional seaters. Each die is hand reamed to the correct headspace, and the tight tolerances are what let you turn out consistently straight, accurate ammo. It's a simpler, more direct way to seat a bullet, and the results show up on paper.
Dialing In Seating Depth
Depth adjustments on this 260 Remington seating die are made by turning the screw inside the cap, which runs on 3/8-24 TPI threads. That gives you clean, controllable adjustment when you're chasing your rifle's sweet spot off the lands. Because the whole setup is compact and press-free, plenty of folks toss it in the range bag and tune seating depth right there between strings.
Built to Last
This is turned, machined steel, not cast, and it's made in the U.S.A. Treat it right and it'll outlast a whole lot of other gear on your bench. For anyone loading 260 Remington for competition, long-range work, or just squeezing every bit of accuracy out of a good barrel, this Wilson seater is a proven, no-nonsense tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the L.E. Wilson 260 Remington seating die need an arbor press?
Yes, this is a chamber type inline seater designed to be used with an arbor press rather than a threaded reloading press. The compact design makes it easy to use at the bench or pack along to the range. L.E. Wilson commonly pairs these dies with a small arbor press for the smoothest operation.
How does this die produce more accurate ammo than a conventional seater?
The chamber type design fully captures both the case and bullet and holds them in alignment before the seating stem presses the bullet straight into the neck. Because the case stays stationary and everything is held concentric, you get less runout than a looser conventional 7/8-14 die. That straighter seating is why benchrest and precision shooters favor these.
Does the BS26-REM have a micrometer top for seating depth?
No. This BS26-REM model adjusts seating depth by turning the screw inside the cap, which runs on 3/8-24 TPI threads. If you want a micrometer adjustment with .001 inch graduations, that's the separate stainless steel S26-REM micrometer version.
Is a sizing die included with this 260 Remington seating die?
No, this is a standalone bullet seating die only. It ships with the seater die, a seater base, an allen wrench, and instructions. You'll want to pair it with a sizing die to handle your full case prep.
