L.E. Wilson Bushing Type Full Length Sizing Die 308 Win
$116.16
The L.E. Wilson Bushing Type Full Length Sizing Die for 308 Win is built for handloaders who want precision neck tension control without full-neck sizing. This bushing-style die sizes your case body and shoulders while leaving the bottom 3/16" of the case neck untouched—a setup many precision shooters prefer for improved accuracy and case longevity. It's the kind of die you reach for when you're chasing tight groups and want to dial in exactly how much neck tension your loads get.
Wilson's full-length bushing dies are machined from heat-treated steel to specifications harder than Grade 8 bolts, built to last through thousands of rounds without wear. The die ships with an adjustable depth decapping rod and an extra decapping punch, so you're ready to start sizing immediately. Stainless steel components resist corrosion, and the included lock nut is manufactured to Wilson's tight tolerances—.225" thick (inside to outside edge), .270" high, 1.250" OD. The die threads into standard 7/8" reloading press stations without modification.
Note: neck bushings are sold separately. Wilson and Redding bushings both fit this die, letting you match your bushing size precisely to your cartridge neck dimensions. If you're running a progressive or single-stage press and want repeatable, controllable neck sizing on your 308 Winchester brass, this is the workhorse die that delivers it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this 308 Win sizing die work in my single-stage press?
Yes. The L.E. Wilson Bushing Type Full Length Sizing Die threads into any standard 7/8" reloading press station, whether single-stage, turret, or progressive.
What bushings fit this die, and are they included?
Both Wilson and Redding neck bushings are compatible with this die. Bushings are sold separately; you'll need to select the correct bushing size to match your 308 Winchester chamber neck dimensions.
Why leave the bottom 3/16" of the neck unsized?
Partial neck sizing reduces brass work hardening and stress at the case shoulder, which many precision handloaders find extends case life and improves accuracy compared to sizing the entire neck.
What comes in the box?
The die includes an adjustable depth decapping rod and one extra decapping punch. Interchangeable neck bushings are sold separately.
