L.E. Wilson Neck Sizing Die Bushing 335$22.88

The L.E. Wilson Neck Sizing Die Bushing 265 is a hardened stainless steel neck bushing designed for reloaders who want precision control over case neck tension. Wilson neck bushings are manufactured in .001" increments, giving you fine-tuned sizing options that work with L.E. Wilson neck sizing dies. Whether you're chasing consistent bullet hold or fine-tuning loads for better accuracy, these bushings let you dial in exactly the neck tension your ammunition needs.
The marked size on each bushing represents the middle diameter, which is reamed with a .003" taper. This design means the case neck contacts only the middle section of the bushing, allowing two sizing approaches: use it in the standard orientation for your marked size, or flip it over (markings facing toward the case) for a slightly tighter fit—useful when brass has hardened and lost tension, or when you need less squeeze than the next smaller bushing would provide. It's a practical feature that extends the life of your bushing inventory and lets you troubleshoot neck tension issues without buying a full new die set.
Wilson bushings are built to specs similar to Redding neck bushings but are not compatible with Forster or RCBS dies, so confirm your die manufacturer before ordering. If you reload bottleneck rifle cartridges and want the ability to control case neck diameter to within a thousandth of an inch, this bushing gives you the precision tool to do it.
| Brand | L.E. Wilson |
| Product Type | Neck Sizing Die Bushing |
| Material | Hardened stainless steel |
| Sizing Increments | .001" |
| Taper | .003" |
| Bushing Size | 265 |
| Compatibility | L.E. Wilson neck sizing dies only; not compatible with Forster or RCBS |
These bushings are made for L.E. Wilson neck sizing dies. They are not compatible with Forster or RCBS neck sizing dies, so verify your die brand before ordering.
There are two methods: (1) Measure the outside neck diameter of your loaded cartridge and subtract .002" to .003" to allow for brass spring-back and correct neck tension; or (2) measure your case neck wall thickness, multiply by two, add your bullet diameter, and subtract .002" to .003". Both approaches account for the brass's natural elasticity.
Yes. Since the case neck contacts only the middle section of the bushing, you can reverse it (markings facing toward the case) to achieve slightly tighter sizing. This is mainly used as a fine-tuning step when brass has hardened and lost tension, or when you need less squeeze than the next smaller bushing size would provide in normal orientation.
The taper is reamed into the bushing's middle section, which is where the case neck makes contact during sizing. This design allows the reversibility feature and ensures consistent neck diameter control.
