L.E. Wilson has been turning out precision reloading tools for around 90 years, and this 260 Remington kit is a great example of why benchrest and long-range handloaders keep coming back to them. It pairs a bushing-style neck sizing die with a micrometer-top bullet seater, giving you two of the most important pieces of a precision loading setup in one box. Both are hand dies, meaning they run in an arbor press or with a mallet rather than a standard threaded press, which is part of how they deliver that consistent, low-runout result.
The bushing neck sizing die uses interchangeable bushings to size only the outside of the case neck, leaving roughly 3/16 inch at the base of the neck untouched. Because there's no conventional expander button pulling through the neck, you get better concentricity and gentler treatment of your brass, which pays off in case life over time. Swapping bushings lets you tune neck tension up or down to match your load, so you stay in control of exactly how hard the neck grips the bullet.
The stainless micrometer seater is where this kit shines for load development. The micrometer top adjusts in .001 inch increments, so finding and repeating your ideal seating depth is quick and repeatable. The chamber-style design holds both the bullet and the case in alignment as the bullet is seated, which helps keep runout low and groups tight. It's an inline seater that works beautifully with a Wilson arbor press.
These dies are machined from quality stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long wear, and the whole kit comes in a protective die kit box so everything stays organized and protected between sessions. Keep in mind the neck bushing is sold separately, so you'll want to pick the size that matches your brass and desired neck tension. This is a setup aimed at reloaders who want to squeeze every bit of accuracy out of their 260 Remington handloads.
No, the neck bushing is sold separately. This lets you choose the exact bushing size that matches your brass and the neck tension you want for your load. L.E. Wilson bushings are the natural pairing, though Redding bushings will also fit.
No, these are hand dies designed for use with an arbor press or a mallet. They will not work in a conventional 7/8-14 threaded press. A Wilson arbor press is the ideal companion for the micrometer seater.
Neck sizing only works the neck of the case and leaves the fire-formed body fit to your chamber, which helps extend brass life. Since there's no expander button being pulled through the neck, you also get improved concentricity. It's a popular choice among precision bolt-action reloaders.
The stainless seater has a micrometer top that adjusts seating depth in .001 inch increments, making it easy to set and repeat your preferred depth. The chamber-style design holds the bullet and case in alignment during seating to keep runout low. That consistency is a big help during load development.
