The L.E. Wilson Neck Sizing Die Bushing 267 is a hardened stainless steel bushing designed for precision reloaders who demand consistent neck tension and tight tolerances. If you're working with a neck sizing die setup and need to fine-tune how much your cases are being squeezed during the sizing process, this bushing gives you the control to dial in exactly what your ammunition needs. L.E. Wilson manufactures these bushings in .001" increments, making it possible to achieve the precise fit that separates mediocre brass from competition-grade ammo.
The size marked on the bushing refers to its middle section, which is reamed with a .003" taper. That design detail matters: because the case neck only contacts the bushing's middle section, you have options. Run it normally for standard sizing, or flip it over (markings facing the case) to achieve a slightly tighter squeeze without stepping down to the next smaller bushing size. That feature is especially handy when your brass has hardened and lost tension, or when you want to fine-tune your neck tension without committing to a different bushing. These bushings are made to specifications similar to Redding neck bushings, though they are not compatible with Forster or RCBS dies, so verify your die system before ordering.
Reloaders who shoot precision rifle, competitive ammunition, or just want maximum control over case preparation will appreciate the versatility Wilson bushings offer. Whether you're tuning loads for a 1000-yard match or working with once-fired brass that's been through the sizing die a few times, having the ability to adjust neck squeeze without buying multiple bushings saves money and gives you the edge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What die systems is the L.E. Wilson bushing compatible with?
The L.E. Wilson Neck Sizing Die Bushing 267 is designed for L.E. Wilson neck sizing dies. It is not compatible with Forster or RCBS die systems, so verify your equipment before purchasing.
How do I choose the correct bushing size for my cartridge?
You have two methods: (1) Measure the outside neck diameter of your loaded cartridge and subtract .002" to .003" to allow for approximately .001" of brass spring-back for correct neck tension. (2) Measure your case neck wall thickness, multiply by two, add your bullet diameter, and subtract .002" to .003". Both approaches account for the proper amount of neck squeeze.
Can I flip the bushing over to get a tighter squeeze?
Yes. You can flip the bushing so the markings face toward the case (facing down) to achieve a slightly tighter sizing without stepping down to the next smaller bushing. This is useful for fine-tuning brass that has hardened and lost tension, or when you want to adjust squeeze characteristics without purchasing a different bushing size.
What's the difference between L.E. Wilson and Redding neck bushings?
L.E. Wilson bushings are made to similar specifications as Redding neck bushings, though they are separate product lines. Both are designed for precision reloading, but you should use the bushing designed for your specific die system.
