Full length bushing dies

[Bogusname]

Does anyone know if the LE Wilson full length bushing die uses the same bushings as Redding and Hornady?

Same as Redding, Not familiar with Hornady.

I know they will accept a Redding, Wilson, or Whidden bushing. I never had any Hornady ones. I can't see why a Hornady bushing wouldn't fit.

They should be more or less interchangeable....some more than others perhaps,
but I have not found one that did'nt work yet..of the 2 or 3 ive tried.
some will be more accurate in the amount they actually size however.

Yes they do.

Hornady was different, in 2015. Don't know what they're using now.

If my feeble memory still works , I think Forester is the only one that isn't inter-changeable .

Forester bushings measure .490 OD
Red., Wil., Whi., measure .500 OD

All will fit.

Had to look that up.

The 308 Hornady neck die from circa 2015 that I have uses different bushings. They are a bit taller, and smaller in outside diameter than the Reddings (or anyone else's). Wall thickness of, at a guess, maybe a tenth of an inch (going from memory here, as I haven't used it in a long time.)

Somewhere between then and now (but it appears to be prior to 2018), they moved to a Redding-compatible bushing style. So it appears they are compatible now.

I'll get pics of the old style if I remember.
