Description
If you shoot 6mm Creedmoor and you're chasing consistency, the L.E. Wilson Bushing Type Full Length Sizing Die gives you control that standard dies just can't match. Instead of a fixed expander ball, this die uses interchangeable bushings so you pick the exact neck tension that your brass and bullet combo likes. In a single stroke it sizes the case body, bumps the shoulder back to set proper headspace, and deprimes the case, so your brass comes out ready for the next step. It threads into any standard 7/8"-14 reloading press, so there's no arbor press required with this one.
How the 6mm Creedmoor Bushing Die Earns Its Keep
Neck tension is one of those variables that quietly makes or breaks a load. By swapping bushings, you can fine-tune bullet grip without overworking the brass, which keeps your cases alive longer and your groups tighter. A good starting point is measuring the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and subtracting about .002" to .003" to account for brass springback. The die ships with an adjustable-depth decapping rod and an extra decapping punch, and since there's no expander on this design, you're sizing the neck purely with the bushing you choose.
Built Like Wilson Builds Everything
This die is machined from high quality steel hardened to L.E. Wilson's own specs, which runs harder than a Grade 8 bolt. The internal parts are stainless for a long service life, and the whole thing is made in the USA. It's the kind of tool that handloaders hang onto for decades and pass down.
One thing worth knowing up front: the neck bushing is sold separately, so you'll want to grab the right size for your brass when you order. Pairing this die with an L.E. Wilson case gauge is a smart move too, since it lets you set your shoulder bump precisely and avoid working the brass harder than it needs. For 6mm Creedmoor reloaders who care about precision, this is a die that rewards the effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 6mm Creedmoor Wilson die come with a neck bushing?
No, the bushing is sold separately. These dies are designed to use interchangeable bushings so you can dial in the exact neck tension you want. To find your size, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract about .002" to .003" to allow for brass springback.
Do I need an arbor press for this Wilson full length sizing die?
No. Unlike Wilson's inline chamber-type dies, this full length sizing die has standard 7/8"-14 threads and works in any common single stage reloading press. You just need a shell holder and case lube to get going.
What does this die do in a single pass?
It sizes the case body down, bumps the shoulder back to set correct headspace, deprimes the spent primer, and sizes the neck to your chosen tension using the bushing. Because there's no expander ball, the neck is sized purely by the bushing you install.
Should I use a case gauge with this die?
It's a good idea. Pairing the die with an L.E. Wilson case gauge lets you set your shoulder bump precisely so you don't overwork the brass. That translates to longer case life and ammo that chambers smoothly.
