If you shoot the 6.5×55 Swede and you've started chasing those last few fractions of an inch at distance, this is the die that gets you there. The L.E. Wilson Bushing Neck Sizing Die is built around interchangeable bushings that size only the outside of the case neck, so you set the exact amount of grip you want on the bullet. There's no expander ball dragging through the neck on the way out, which means straighter brass, better concentricity, and cases that last a whole lot longer before the necks give up.
This is a hand-die, so it runs on an arbor press or a soft mallet rather than a threaded press. It sizes the neck about 3/16 inch down from the case mouth, which is the sweet spot a lot of precision reloaders prefer. The body of the die is machined from stainless steel, hardened to Wilson's own spec, so it shrugs off corrosion and holds its dimensions through years of use on the bench.
Neck-only sizing is the move when you're loading fired brass back into the same rifle. Because you're not touching the body or bumping the shoulder, the case stays fire-formed to your chamber and you work the brass as little as possible. Swap a bushing and you change neck tension in seconds, which makes load development and fine-tuning a breeze. The die accepts both L.E. Wilson and Redding neck bushings, so you've got plenty of sizing options on hand.
Bushings are sold separately, and picking the right one matters. Measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract a couple thousandths for your desired tension to land on the correct bushing size. Wilson also recommends pairing the die with a neck decapping base if you want to deprime while you size. Run it with an arbor press and you'll have a smooth, repeatable setup that rewards careful handloaders.

No. This is a Wilson hand-die designed to run on an arbor press or with a soft mallet, not a 7/8-14 threaded press. If you want a Wilson die that threads into a standard press, you'd be looking at their full length bushing sizer instead.
It does not. Eliminating the expander ball is a big part of the appeal here, since it improves neck concentricity and reduces how much the brass gets worked. That translates to straighter ammo and longer case life.
To deprime while neck sizing with this die, Wilson recommends pairing it with their neck decapping base, which is sold separately. Many handloaders decap in a separate step before sizing. Either approach works, it just depends on how you like to set up your bench.
