LE Wilson Full Length Bushing Sizing die for 6.5CM or Redding FL Type-S

[SeattleDude]

Hi guys,

Getting reloading gear list ready for purchase to add 6.5CM to the stable.

Going with Forster Micrometer Seater.

And now torn between two Full Length Bushing type dies. I know Redding is good and I used it, but LE Wilson have new Full Length Bushing type sizer too for same price.

Anyone used LE Wilson die? I will be using Forster Co-Ax press.

Side note.
I noticed Forster have Bushing Neck and Shoulder bump die out, but I never personally used those types of dies and always used FL. Any feedback on that one?

I would also look at the Whidden bushing die. A bit more expensive - but very nice dies. I have yet to try one of the new LE Wilson threaded dies, but I would assume they are top notch also.

Sizing results are not brand dependent.
They're plan & fit dependent,, or pure luck otherwise.
So nobody can say this or that die is better for you, until known that this includes custom fitting.
You send fully fireformed cases to a die maker, along with your sizing plan, this much where. They make the die to do it.

I understand. Thank you.

Buy the die from the guy/company that invented/makes it.

I don't have a Wilson CM die, but I do have a .223 and 6XC. They are very well made and mine work very well for me. They come with two decapping rods, but now expander. Also the die lock ring is an odd size, 30mm. I didn't have a wrench that would fit, so I ended up buying a ER20 collet wrench on Amazon for $7. I also have a couple of Whidden bushing dies and they're very nice also and come with a plastic die storage box. The Wilson comes in their standard orange cardboard box.
