Neck tension is one of those little details that separates good handloads from great ones, and the L.E. Wilson Neck Sizer Die Bushing in .291 is how you take control of it. This is a precision steel insert that drops into a Wilson bushing-style die and sizes the case neck down to the exact diameter you want. Swap it in, swap it out, and tune your brass to whatever bullet grip gives you the best groups.
This bushing is built to run inside Wilson neck sizing dies and Wilson bushing-type full-length sizing dies. The idea is simple: instead of over-working your brass with a one-size-fits-all die, you pick a bushing sized to your specific brass and bullet combination. That means less case stretching, longer brass life, and far more consistent neck tension from one round to the next. The .291 falls right in the range a lot of reloaders need, and because the bushings interchange freely across compatible Wilson dies, you can keep a few diameters on hand and fine-tune as you go.
Getting the diameter right matters. The common method is to measure the outside diameter of the neck on a loaded round, then subtract .002 to .003 for proper tension. You can also measure your neck wall thickness, double it, add the bullet diameter, then subtract that same .002 to .003. If your loaded neck measures around .293 to .294, this .291 bushing lands in the right neighborhood, though it's always worth checking your own brass since wall thickness varies by lot and manufacturer.
Made in the U.S.A., these bushings are machined from hardened, precision-ground steel so they hold their dimension through years of sizing cycles. L.E. Wilson has been turning out precision reloading tools for decades, and that reputation for tight tolerances is exactly why so many bench rest and precision handloaders trust their bushing system.
It's made to work with L.E. Wilson neck sizing dies and Wilson bushing-type full-length sizing dies. The bushings interchange freely across compatible Wilson bushing dies, so you can keep several diameters on hand and switch between them as needed. The die body itself is sold separately.
Measure the outside diameter of the neck on a loaded round, then subtract .002 to .003 inch to get your bushing size. You can also measure neck wall thickness, multiply by two, add your bullet diameter, then subtract that same .002 to .003. A .291 bushing generally suits a loaded neck in the .293 to .294 range, but checking your own brass is always the smart move since wall thickness varies.
No, the bushing is sold on its own. Wilson sells the neck sizing and full-length sizing die bodies separately, which lets you build out a set of bushings in different diameters without buying a whole new die every time you want to change neck tension.
It's machined from hardened, polished and precision-ground steel. That construction lets it hold its dimension through many years of repeated sizing cycles, which is a big part of why precision handloaders rely on the Wilson bushing system. It's made in the U.S.A.
