L.E. Wilson built a reputation in the benchrest world for making tools that hold tight tolerances, and this bushing-type full length sizing die carries that same precision over to the big 300 PRC. It handles the full job in one stroke: sizing the case body, setting the shoulder bump, and squeezing the neck down to whatever tension you want using an interchangeable bushing. Because the neck is sized by the bushing rather than a fixed-diameter neck and an expander ball, you work the brass less and keep runout to a minimum, which pays off in longer case life and more consistent groups downrange.
The whole appeal of a bushing setup is control. You pick the bushing that matches your brass and bullet combo, drop it in, and the die sizes the neck to that exact outside diameter. A common starting point is measuring the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and subtracting about .002 inches for a solid baseline of neck tension. Want to experiment with a looser or tighter hold to tune accuracy? Swap the bushing and you're set, no need to buy a whole new die. It's a favorite approach for precision rifle and long-range folks running the 300 PRC who want repeatable brass prep.
This die is machined from heat-treated stainless steel, which Wilson rates as harder than a Grade 8 bolt for the long haul. It threads into any standard 7/8"-14 reloading press, so it works right alongside the gear you already run. The package includes an adjustable-depth decapping rod, a spare decapping punch, and a lock ring with a hex wrench for the setscrew, along with instructions. Keep in mind the sizing bushing and expander are sold separately, so you'll want to grab the right bushing for your brass before your first session.
Consistent neck wall thickness matters most with any bushing die since the bushing sizes the outside of the neck. Uniform brass, or neck-turned cases, will give you the most even tension from round to round. Run your cases through a Wilson case gage to confirm proper sizing and avoid overworking the brass, and keep notes on which bushing pairs best with each bullet. Dialed in right, this die is a workhorse for building accurate, repeatable 300 PRC handloads.
No, the sizing bushing is sold separately so you can pick the exact size that matches your brass and bullet. An expander is also not included with this die. You'll want to order the correct bushing before your first reloading session.
The common method is to measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract about .002 inches for a solid baseline of neck tension. For example, if your loaded neck measures .336 inches, you'd reach for a .334 bushing. From there you can go slightly smaller or larger to fine-tune accuracy and brass grip.
Yes. Unlike Wilson's arbor-press hand dies, this bushing full length sizing die threads into any standard 7/8"-14 press, so it drops right into the setup you already run. That makes it an easy upgrade for handloaders moving from standard dies to bushing-style brass prep.
A bushing die sizes the neck to the exact outside diameter you choose rather than squeezing it down with a fixed-diameter neck and then opening it back up with an expander ball. That means less working of the brass, better concentricity, and longer case life. It also lets you tune neck tension just by swapping bushings, which is handy when developing loads.
