If you handload 6.5 Creedmoor and chase consistency round after round, this L.E. Wilson Bushing Neck Die Kit is the kind of tooling that rewards a careful setup. It brings together two of Wilson's most trusted pieces: a stainless steel bushing neck sizing die and a stainless micrometer-top seater, tucked into a fitted plastic die box so everything stays organized on the bench. Wilson has been building precision reloading tools for around 90 years, and that reputation for tight tolerances shows up the first time you run a case.
The neck die uses interchangeable bushings to size the outside of the case neck to about 3/16 inch from the case mouth, which gives you direct control over exactly how much the neck gets worked. Swap to a tighter or looser bushing and you dial neck tension to your load. Since there's no conventional expander ball dragging through the neck, you get better concentricity and longer brass life. Bushings are sold separately, and the die accepts L.E. Wilson, Redding, or Sinclair carbide bushings, so you can source whatever matches your brass and bullet combo.
The stainless seater holds both the case and the bullet in close alignment as the bullet is seated, which is a big part of keeping runout low. The micrometer top lets you adjust seating depth in clean .001 inch increments, so once you find your node you can come back to it and repeat it exactly. That kind of repeatability is what separates a good group from a great one.
These are hand dies, built for use with an arbor press or a soft mallet. They are not designed to thread into a conventional 7/8-14 press, so plan on an arbor press if you don't already have one. For a lot of precision and benchrest reloaders that's the whole appeal, since the tactile feel of an arbor press makes it easy to spot inconsistencies in your brass. Both dies are stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long wear, and the whole kit is made in the U.S.A.
No, bushings are sold separately so you can match the exact neck tension you want for your brass and bullet. The neck die accepts L.E. Wilson, Redding, or Sinclair carbide bushings. Pick the size based on your loaded neck diameter minus the tension you're after.
No. These are hand dies designed for use with an arbor press or a soft mallet, not a conventional 7/8-14 threaded press. If you don't have an arbor press yet, you'll want one to run this kit as intended.
The bushing sizes the neck from the outside, so there's no expander to drag through the inside of the neck. That approach improves concentricity and reduces the stress on your brass, which helps extend case life. Many precision reloaders prefer it for exactly that reason.
The stainless seater adjusts seating depth in .001 inch increments through its micrometer top. It holds the case and bullet in alignment as the bullet seats, which keeps runout low. Once you find your preferred depth, you can return to it and repeat it reliably.
