If you shoot 6mm BRX and chase tight groups, the way you size your necks matters as much as your powder charge. This L.E. Wilson bushing neck sizing die gives you that control by letting you swap bushings to set your neck tension to the thousandth, instead of being locked into whatever a standard die hands you. It's a stainless steel hand die built the way Wilson has been doing it for decades, made in the USA and meant to last a lifetime on the bench.
This is a hand die, so it runs on an arbor press or a light tap from a mallet rather than a threaded single-stage press. You drop the fired case in, press it down, and the bushing sizes the outside of the neck to about 3/16" from the mouth, which is the amount of neck many precision loaders prefer to touch. The die includes a decapping rod to punch the spent primer and pop the case back out, but it does not use a conventional expander ball. Skipping the expander is the whole point here, since pulling a ball back through the neck is where a lot of runout and uneven tension sneaks in.
The die body accepts standard interchangeable bushings, and it plays nice with L.E. Wilson, Redding, and Sinclair sizes. Bushings are sold separately, which is actually a good thing, because it lets you buy a couple sizes and fine-tune tension to your brass and load. A good starting point is measuring a loaded, seated neck and selecting a bushing a thousandth or two under that figure.
Because this is a neck-only die, it sizes just the neck and leaves the fire-formed body and shoulder alone, keeping your brass fit to your chamber. That means less working of the case, better concentricity, and brass that lasts noticeably longer. Keep in mind the neck die base is sold separately if you're pressing cases on an arbor setup. For dedicated bolt-gun brass and a reloader who cares about repeatability, this is the kind of tooling that earns its keep.
No, bushings are sold separately so you can choose the exact size for your brass and desired neck tension. The die body accepts L.E. Wilson, Redding, and Sinclair bushings. Most loaders pick a bushing a thousandth or two under their loaded neck diameter.
No, this is a hand die designed for an arbor press or a light mallet tap rather than a conventional 7/8"-14 press. You drop the case in and press it down to size the neck. If you want a die that threads into a standard press, you'd want Wilson's full length sizing die instead.
No, there's no expander ball, and that's by design. Sizing with a bushing from the outside of the neck avoids dragging a ball back through the case, which improves concentricity and keeps neck tension more consistent. A decapping rod is included to remove the spent primer.
Neck sizing leaves the fire-formed body and shoulder matched to your chamber while just resetting the neck for bullet seating. This works the brass less, which extends case life and can tighten up accuracy. It's a popular approach for dedicated brass in bolt-action rifles.
