Advice .223 reloading wilson dies

[Off_road_10]

I am starting out reloading for 223, intend to use a arbor press and Wilson straight line dies. Would appreciate advice on what size bushings i should order for neck sizing dies, i will be reloading for a Remington 700P with Sierra Match King HPBT 69gr and shells are once fired winchester factory loads I have.

depends on the brass. I have .243-.247 I usually use .245 with LC11 brass.

I gave up on using Wilson neck dies for factory chambers, actually, even for all my custom 223's. I prefer to just use a Redding neck die in my press

I use a Wilson neck sizer and seater at the range a lot. The arbor press I use is a K&M. Bought the Sinclair micrometer head for the seater, and never liked it. I prefer shims, and usually make my own out of plastic shim stock. Lube the necks with powdered graphite. Have used everything from .242" to .245" bushings, but prefer the .242" and .243" most of the time. My chamber is a .223 N.M. that is on the minimum spec side. The rifle is a Rem. 700

I use a .245 bushing with Winchester brass that has not been turned. Neck tension feels just about right. I certainly wouldn't go bigger, but would try a .244 if I had one.
