L.E. Wilson has been building precision reloading tools for generations, and this stainless neck sizing die for 6mm BR is exactly the kind of tool that earns a permanent spot on a bench rest reloader's bench. It uses an interchangeable bushing to size the outside of the case neck, giving you direct control over how much tension your brass puts on the bullet. There's no conventional expander ball here, which is the whole point. Pulling an expander back through the neck every cycle works the brass and can nudge things out of concentric. This die skips that step entirely, so your necks stay straighter and your brass lasts longer.
The die sizes the neck about 3/16" down from the case mouth, a setup a lot of precision reloaders prefer because it leaves the rest of the neck untouched and preserves the fire-formed fit to your chamber. To pick the right bushing, measure the outside diameter of a loaded round at the neck and subtract about .002" to .003". That accounts for brass spring-back and leaves you with consistent grip on the bullet. Change bushings and you change neck tension, plain and simple.
Bushings are sold separately, and the good news is you're not locked into one brand. This die accepts L.E. Wilson, Redding, and Sinclair bushings, so you can source whatever you can get your hands on. Many reloaders favor the Wilson bushings for their radiused leading edge and tight tolerances, and the tapered design even lets you flip them for a touch more tension.
One thing worth knowing up front: this is a hand die built for an arbor press or a soft mallet, not a standard 7/8"-14 threaded press. The neck die base is also sold separately and is strongly recommended since it elevates the die and improves your leverage. Machined from stainless steel and made in the USA, it's the kind of tool that holds its tolerances for years of reloading.
No, bushings are sold separately so you can choose the exact size for your brass and bullet combination. To find the right one, measure the outside neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract about .002" to .003". The die accepts L.E. Wilson, Redding, and Sinclair bushings.
No, this is a hand die designed for use with an arbor press or a soft mallet. It does not thread into a conventional 7/8"-14 press. For the smoothest operation, the neck die base is strongly recommended since it raises the die and gives you better leverage.
The bushing sizes the outside of the case neck directly, which makes a conventional expander ball unnecessary. Skipping the expander improves neck concentricity and extends brass life, since the neck isn't being stretched and pulled back on every cycle. That consistency is a big part of why precision and bench rest reloaders reach for these dies.
You'll need an arbor press (or a mallet in a pinch) to operate the die, since it isn't a threaded press die. The neck die base is sold separately but recommended, as it elevates the die and maximizes your leverage for smoother, more consistent sizing.
