L.E. Wilson 22 Caliber (0.2255''-0.226'') Inside Neck Reamer
The L.E. Wilson 22 caliber inside neck reamer (0.2255″–0.226″) is a precision case-preparation tool for handloaders who fire and resize brass multiple times. Over successive loadings, material builds up inside the case neck, thickening the walls and creating dangerous pressure spikes and inconsistent shot placement. This reamer removes that excess material, restoring case necks to proper dimensions and ensuring safer, more accurate ammunition. It's built for shooters who demand control over every variable in the reloading process.
Wilson's inside neck reamers are sized to work on as-fired brass—no need to full-length size beforehand. The tool excels at extending the life of quality brass, particularly valuable for precision rifle and handgun loads where consistency matters. It's also useful for wildcat cartridge formation, allowing you to turn parent cases into custom calibers. Made in the USA, this reamer comes ready to work with a knob-style handle included.
If you're a meticulous reloader who keeps detailed records of case life and shoots the same brass year after year, this tool pays for itself quickly. It's not for casual shooters, but for those building match-grade ammo or maximizing performance from premium brass, proper neck conditioning is non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What brass should I use this reamer on?
The L.E. Wilson inside neck reamer is designed for as-fired, unsized brass. It removes material buildup that occurs after multiple firings and resizing cycles, so it works best on once-fired or previously reloaded cases rather than new brass.
Why would I need an inside neck reamer?
As you fire and resize brass repeatedly, material accumulates inside the case neck, thickening the walls. This buildup raises chamber pressure, causes erratic velocities, and can harm accuracy. An inside neck reamer removes that excess material and restores proper neck dimensions, making your ammunition safer and more consistent.
Can I use this reamer to form wildcat cartridges?
Yes. Inside neck reamers can be used when forming wildcat cartridges from a parent case, giving you the precision control needed for custom caliber development.
What's included in this package?
This product includes one L.E. Wilson inside neck reamer for 22 caliber and one knob-style handle, ready to use out of the box.
