When I first started hand loading, I wasn't sure what FL sizing die to buy and bought others based on well intended good advice. Needless to say I experienced problems with cases not being correctly resized and bullets not being perfectly aligned and seated. I now only use LE Wilson dies. Anyone who is serious about hand loading will understand the importance of precision and consistency. LE Wilson dies are far superior to all the others I have used.
This is a Full Length Sizing Die with an Interchangeable Bushing. This means you will need to calculate the amount of tension you need on the bullet to properly resize the neck. Instead of shrinking down and expanding out like a forming die, we are just sizing the amount needed to hold the bullet. Less work on the brass provides a more accurate load and extends the life of the brass.

Beautifully made Dies! I had to mill down a shell holder in order to get the desired shoulder bump.
Why is there no expander in the die. How do you set neck tension
