Description
If you shoot 6mm GT and care about consistent neck tension, this L.E. Wilson bushing neck sizing die gives you the kind of control that standard dies just can't match. Instead of relying on an expander ball dragging through the neck, it uses interchangeable sizing bushings that size the outside of the case neck. That means straighter necks, better bullet runout numbers, and brass that lasts longer because you're only working the metal as much as you choose to.
How the 6mm GT Bushing Neck Die Works
The die sizes the neck about 3/16 inch down from the case mouth, which is the sweet spot a lot of precision reloaders prefer. Want more neck tension? Drop in a tighter bushing. Want less grip on the bullet for a softer release? Go up a thousandth or two. The bushings are sold separately, and this die accepts L.E. Wilson, Redding, or Sinclair carbide bushings, so you've got plenty of options to fine-tune for your brass and your load. There's no expander ball here, which is exactly the point.
Built for the Arbor Press
This is a hand die designed to run on an arbor press rather than a conventional threaded press. It's a chamber-style die, so the case drops in and you press the neck with controlled, repeatable feel every single time. The die includes a decapping rod for knocking out spent primers during the sizing process. For the smoothest workflow, most folks pair it with the Wilson Neck Die Decapping Base, which lets you flip the die over and press the case right back out, catching the spent primer in the process.
Why 6mm GT Reloaders Reach for L.E. Wilson
Wilson has been building precision reloading tools for over 80 years, and this die carries that reputation. It's machined to tight tolerances and heat treated for a long service life. If you're loading for a PRS gas gun or a bolt rifle built around the 6mm GT, this is the tool that helps you squeeze every bit of accuracy out of your handloads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 6mm GT bushing neck die come with bushings?
No, the bushings are sold separately so you can choose the exact size that gives you the neck tension you want. This die accepts L.E. Wilson, Redding, or Sinclair carbide bushings. To pick the right one, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract the amount of tension you're after.
What press do I need to use this die with?
This is a chamber-style hand die built to run on an arbor press, not a conventional 7/8-inch threaded press. The case seats into the die and you press the neck for consistent, repeatable results. If you don't already have an arbor press, you'll want to add one to your bench to use it.
Do I need a neck die base with the 6mm GT neck die?
The die includes a decapping rod, but most reloaders pair it with the Wilson Neck Die Decapping Base, which is sold separately. The base lets you flip the die over after sizing and press the case out while removing the spent primer in one motion. It keeps the whole process cleaner and faster on the bench.
How is bushing neck sizing different from a standard neck die?
A standard neck die pulls an expander ball back through the case neck, which can introduce runout and work the brass harder. This bushing die sizes the outside of the neck instead, so there's no expander ball dragging through. The result is improved concentricity and longer brass life, which is why precision handloaders favor it.
