L.E. Wilson .223 Remington Stainless Steel Bushing Full-Length Die Kit
Improve your precision with this complete, improved die and gauge set from L.E. Wilson. This kit provides the serious handloader with every tool needed to produce the most consistent and accurate .223 Remington ammunition. The set includes a stainless steel bushing full-length sizing die, a micrometer "hand-die" style seater, and a case length headspace gauge.
Important Note: Bushings are sold separately. You must purchase the correct size bushings for your specific brass.
Component Overview & Features:
1. Bushing Full-Length Sizing Die
This die resizes the entire case body back to SAAMI specifications while allowing you to precisely control neck tension with interchangeable bushings. This method avoids overworking the brass and promotes superior neck concentricity. It includes an adjustable depth de-capping pin and a spare.
- Threads: Standard 7/8"-14 for use in most common reloading presses.
- Design: Does not use an expander ball, which helps improve case neck alignment and accuracy.
2. Micrometer Seater Die (Hand-Die Style)
This precision seater die holds the case and bullet in perfect alignment as the bullet is seated, which is critical for minimizing runout. The micrometer top allows for incredibly precise and repeatable adjustments to the seating depth in .001" increments.
- Press Compatibility: This is a "hand-die" and is designed to be used with an Arbor Press or a mallet. It is NOT for use in a conventional 7/8"-14 reloading press.
3. Case Length Headspace Gauge
This one-piece, non-adjustable cylinder gauge is a critical quality control tool. It allows you to compare your resized cases and finished cartridges against SAAMI minimum chamber dimensions, verifying that your case headspace and overall length are within safe and reliable specifications.
