LNL AP Wilson die bottoming out

[bozo699]

I should have been more clear. The problem is that the die body is too short and I’m running out of threads. It doesn’t touch the shell holder/plate when screwed in completely.
That’s why I thought may be a different die but I don’t know which one may work.

I noticed with there bushings you lose quite a bit, I may have a fix I’ll look at my press tonight.

You would have to remove material here to get more bump

The die goes down into the slot that is cutout. The part you have marked shouldn't contact the die at all.

I think it does but you may be correct, I only load pistol ammo on mine and don’t have the op’s problem. I didn’t remember the cutout for the case being as big as the die. If you’re correct it would even be more difficult to do. I’ll look tonight when I get home.

Drop point,
You were 100% correct the entire bottom of the die goes in the shell holder cutout as I verified on my press tonight.

Praveen,
I used a Redding die and was able to bump the shoulder on a piece of Dasher brass. I believe I could have sized it more but didn’t want to take my 44 mag die out. I pushed the shoulder back .0025 I believe if you need to you can remove several thousandths off your lock n load bushing and that should get you there, and you won’t have to grind on your $150 die or your $48 shell plate, just a $10 bushing. Best of luck

P.S
I had about 1.5-2 turns left on my die nut so I didn’t have much left either but it would work.

Interesting... thanks Wayne ! Yeah I can remove from the bushing. That's a cheap piece to experiment with. I was also thinking I'll try a Forster die. I have a few of those for other cartridges so I can atleast check if they have a longer body than Wilson's.

I have some Wilson dies but not in dasher or brx but I can measure the thread to bottom of die on my Redding for ya to see if I have more than you do.

Preeven,
I measured my Dasher Redding die my Wilson 7mm-08 die and a Forster 6br die. Hope it helps some.
