L.E. Wilson Bushing Type Full Length Sizing Die 33 Xc
$116.16
The L.E. Wilson Bushing Type Full Length Sizing Die 33 XC gives reloaders precise control over neck tension while sizing the case body in a single pass. Built from heat-treated steel to L.E. Wilson's demanding specs, this full-length sizing die employs a bushing system that sizes only the upper 13/16" of the case neck, leaving the bottom 3/16" unsized—a technique many precision shooters rely on for tighter groups and more consistent ammunition. If you're loading for match-grade accuracy or hunting rounds that demand repeatable performance, this die's design philosophy prioritizes the kind of control that pays off downrange.
The die ships with an adjustable depth decapping rod and an extra decapping punch, so you can start sizing right away. Neck bushings are sold separately; L.E. Wilson bushings are the factory choice, though Redding bushings will also fit. The die's hardened steel construction and stainless lock nut are built to outlast years of heavy use in any reloading press setup.
L.E. Wilson's reputation in precision reloading stems from uncompromising materials and manufacturing standards—this die is no exception. Whether you're setting up a dedicated precision rifle rig or upgrading your current die set, the bushing system lets you dial in the exact neck tension your cartridge and brass demand, without the guesswork. Standard 7/8"-14 threads fit any standard reloading press.

Frequently Asked Questions
What press will this L.E. Wilson sizing die fit?
The die uses standard 7/8"-14 threads and will work with any reloading press that accepts standard dies in that thread size. This includes single-stage presses, progressive presses, and turret presses.
Do I need to buy bushings separately?
Yes, neck bushings are sold separately. L.E. Wilson bushings are the manufacturer's recommended choice, but Redding bushings will also fit this die. You'll need to match the bushing to your desired neck tension and brass.
What makes the partial neck sizing design better?
By leaving the bottom 3/16" of the case neck unsized, this die reduces overall case neck working—a practice many precision shooters find delivers tighter shot groups and more consistent ammunition than full-neck sizing. The method is especially valued in match and hunting loads where accuracy matters.
Is a decapping punch included?
Yes. The die comes with an adjustable depth decapping rod and an extra decapping punch, so you can start loading immediately without additional purchases for decapping.
