L.E. Wilson Bushing Type Full Length Sizing Die 25 Cm
The L.E. Wilson Bushing Type Full Length Sizing Die for 25 CM is built for reloaders who demand precision neck control without sizing the entire case neck. This bushing-style full length sizing die lets you adjust neck tension to your exact specs while simultaneously sizing the case body and shoulder—all in one stroke. It's the choice for shooters who've found that leaving the bottom 3/16" of the case neck unsized delivers better accuracy and longer case life than conventional full neck sizing.
Wilson engineered this die with a hardened steel construction that exceeds Grade 8 bolt specifications, paired with stainless steel components to resist corrosion and wear. The adjustable depth decapping rod gives you control over primer pocket uniformity, and the included extra decapping punch means you won't be caught short when you need a spare. No expander ball is built in—this design keeps things simple and lets you run a separate neck-turning or bushing operation if your workflow demands it.
Compatible with standard 7/8" press threads, the die ships ready to work. Neck bushings are sold separately; L.E. Wilson bushings are the factory recommendation, though Redding bushings will also fit. The precision-manufactured lock nut (.225" thick, .270" height, 1.250" OD) holds zero reliably through hundreds of rounds. If you're serious about consistent neck tension and want to avoid unnecessary case work, this is a workhorse tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy neck bushings separately?
Yes. The die itself does not include a neck bushing; you'll need to purchase one separately. L.E. Wilson neck bushings are the factory recommendation for this die, though Redding bushings will also fit.
Will this die work in my reloading press?
If your press has a standard 7/8" threaded die cavity, yes. This die uses the universal 7/8" thread size found on nearly all modern reloading presses.
What's the advantage of leaving 3/16" of the case neck unsized?
Many shooters find that partial neck sizing reduces case work, extends case life, and improves accuracy by minimizing unnecessary case manipulation. This die is specifically designed to deliver that benefit while still sizing the shoulder and case body in one stroke.
Does this die include a decapping punch?
Yes. The die includes an adjustable depth decapping rod and an extra decapping punch, so you have a spare on hand.
