Description
For the precision reloader working in 308 Winchester or 7.62 NATO, this L.E. Wilson kit brings together the three tools that make a real difference in group size. The full length bushing sizing die resizes the case body and shoulder while letting you control neck tension separately through an interchangeable bushing. That means you set the exact grip on your bullet instead of settling for whatever a fixed die gives you, which is the whole reason serious handloaders reach for bushing dies in the first place.
What the Wilson 308 Bushing Full Length Die Set Brings to the Bench
The sizing die includes an adjustable depth decapping rod along with a spare decapping punch, so you have a backup when you need it. It does not include an expander, which fits the bushing design since neck sizing is handled by the bushing you choose. The die uses standard 7/8"-14 threads, so it threads into most common reloading presses without any special setup. Keep in mind bushings are sold separately, which lets you tune neck tension to the exact brass and bullet combination you run.
Micrometer Seating and the Case Gauge in This 308 Winchester Kit
The stainless steel seater die carries a micrometer top that lets you adjust seating depth in .001" increments, so finding and repeating your favorite depth is simple and repeatable. Rounding out the kit is the Case Length Headspace Gauge, a one-piece cylinder-type gauge that measures case length from the base to the shoulder as well as overall maximum case length. Drop a resized case or a finished round in and you can confirm your brass sits within spec before it ever heads to the range.
Built the Wilson Way
L.E. Wilson has been machining precision reloading tools in Washington State since 1927, and this kit carries that reputation. Everything is made in the USA from quality heat treated stainless steel, and the whole set ships in a protective storage box so it stays organized and protected between sessions. For anyone chasing tight, uniform handloads in 308, this is a dependable foundation to build a load around.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Wilson 308 bushing full length die set come with a neck bushing?
No, the neck bushing is sold separately. This lets you choose the exact bushing size that matches your brass and bullet for the neck tension you want. The die accepts standard neck sizing bushings, so you can fine tune your setup without being locked into one dimension.
Can I use the full length sizing die in my regular reloading press?
Yes. The full length bushing sizing die features standard 7/8"-14 threads, so it works in most common reloading presses. Just thread it in, set your lock ring, and you are ready to size cases.
Why is there no expander in this die set?
Bushing dies handle neck sizing through the bushing itself, so an expander is not needed and is not included. You control final neck diameter and tension by selecting the right bushing, which is a more precise approach favored by accuracy-focused reloaders.
What does the case length headspace gauge do in this kit?
It is a one-piece, non-adjustable cylinder gauge that measures case length from the base to the shoulder as well as maximum overall case length. You drop a resized case or finished round in to confirm it sits within spec. That quick check helps you avoid overworking brass and keeps your rounds consistent.
