Description
The L.E. Wilson 30 BR Bushing Full Length Sizing Die is built for benchrest reloaders who want real control over how their brass comes out of the press. Instead of relying on an expander ball to set neck tension, this die uses interchangeable bushings so you can dial in exactly how much grip you want on the bullet while sizing the case body and bumping the shoulder back at the same time. That combination of precision and simplicity is why Wilson dies have earned such a strong following among the accuracy crowd.
What makes this one worth a look is how little it works your brass. The bushing system keeps neck resizing to the bare minimum, which cuts down on the overworking that shortens case life. These full length dies use the same bushings as Wilson's neck sizing dies, and they're designed to leave about 3/16 of an inch at the bottom of the neck unsized, a trick a lot of precision loaders swear by for better consistency.
What the 30 BR Bushing Die Does on the Bench
In a single stroke, this die sizes the case body, sets the shoulder back for correct headspace, resizes the neck to your chosen bushing, and deprimes the spent primer. It comes with an adjustable depth decapping rod plus a spare decapping punch, so you can fine-tune pin depth and keep a backup on hand. Keep in mind there's no expander in this design, which is exactly the point, and the neck bushings are sold separately so you can match tension to your brass and bullet.
Build Quality You Can Count On With the FLD-30BR
Wilson machines this die from high quality heat treated steel that's hardened to their own spec, which they rate as harder than a Grade 8 bolt. Stainless parts help it hold up over years of use, and the standard 7/8-14 threads mean it drops right into most common single stage presses. Made in the U.S.A., it's the kind of tool that earns a permanent spot on your loading bench for 30 BR.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 30 BR bushing full length sizing die come with bushings?
No, the neck sizing bushings are sold separately. This lets you pick the exact bushing size that gives you the neck tension you want for your brass and bullet combination. It uses the same bushings as Wilson's neck sizing dies, so they're interchangeable across your Wilson setup.
Will this die work in a standard reloading press?
Yes. The die is cut with standard 7/8-14 threads, so it drops right into most common single stage reloading presses. No special press or adapter is needed.
Does this die use an expander ball to set neck tension?
No, and that's by design. Neck tension is controlled entirely by the interchangeable bushing you choose, which keeps brass working to a minimum and helps extend case life. You avoid the extra pull and stretch that an expander ball can introduce.
What does the FLD-30BR actually do in one pass?
It sizes the case body, bumps the shoulder back for correct headspace, resizes the neck to your chosen bushing, and deprimes the case all in a single stroke. It also leaves roughly 3/16 of an inch at the base of the neck unsized, which many precision loaders prefer for consistency.
