Built for handloaders running the 6mm Bench Rest Ackley, this L.E. Wilson bushing full length sizing die brings the case body back into spec while letting you control neck tension on your own terms. It works off interchangeable neck bushings instead of a fixed expander, which is exactly what you want when you're chasing tight groups and consistent brass. The 6 BR-A is a wildcat built on the 6mm Norma BR case with a steeper 40-degree shoulder, and it's become a real favorite in PRS and long-range circles, so having a die purpose-cut for it matters.
This die sizes down the case body and sets your neck tension in one pass, then decaps the case at the same time. Swap bushings to fine-tune how much the neck gets squeezed, which lets you match your sized neck diameter to whatever tension your load likes. The design leaves roughly 3/16 inch at the base of the neck unsized, a trick a lot of precision folks swear by for better alignment and longer case life. There's an adjustable depth decapping rod, plus an extra decapping punch in the box, and neither uses an expander ball. Ditching the expander is a big part of why these dies keep necks concentric and your brass lasting longer.
The build quality is where these earn their keep. The steel is heat treated harder than a Grade 8 bolt, and the fit and finish inside and out is clean enough that folks coming from other die brands notice the difference right away. It threads into any standard 7/8-14 reloading press, so it drops right into your existing setup. Users running Alpha and Lapua brass have reported it plays nicely with both.
One thing worth knowing up front: neck bushings are sold separately. L.E. Wilson bushings are the natural match, though Redding bushings will fit if that's what you already have on the bench.
No, neck bushings are sold separately on this die. L.E. Wilson bushings are the recommended match, but Redding bushings will also fit if you already have some. This lets you pick the exact bushing size for the neck tension your load prefers.
Yes. It uses standard 7/8-14 threading, so it screws right into any common single-stage or turret press. No special adapters needed.
The 6 BR-A, or 6mm Bench Rest Ackley, is a wildcat based on the 6mm Norma BR case with the shoulder blown out to a steeper 40-degree angle. That added case capacity gives it a bit more velocity while keeping the full BR neck length. It has gained a strong following in precision and PRS competition, so a dedicated die like this is the right tool rather than trying to make a standard 6mm BR die work.
Running bushings instead of an expander keeps the neck more concentric and puts less work into the brass, which helps your cases last longer. You set neck tension by choosing the bushing diameter rather than pulling an expander back through the mouth. It's a big reason precision reloaders prefer bushing dies for match brass.
