Whidden bushings fit Wilson die?

First, I want introducd myself M Overcash from West, TX. I enjoy this forum and i am learning that I have a lot to catch up on. I'm am old timer that reloaded .243, .270 ,and 7mag, and 300 wm from the late 60's until 1980's. I recently bought a 6.5 rem 700 sps and now I am finishing setting up my reloading man cave. I started with a RCBS rock chucker premium added RCBS premium die set and loaded my first load test using 140gr hornady BTHP with H4350.
I haven't shot any reloads yet due to horrible weather.
The changes and concepts I see in this program have taught this ole dog a few tricks. I am going to try using competition shell holders to increase the times i can reload my brass and hopefully this will improve my group size too. Here is a question I have for the forum members: how does using a bushing to neck the case mouth to .001" or .002" less than the .264" compare to what the fl lenght die sizes necks the mouth down too.
Thanks
M Overcash
 
I have a question for the forum members that shoot competitively. Concerning group size, I am a bench rest fanatic. So, are there still 100 yd group size events? Dont get me wrong i like shooting prone, sitting, and standing but being in my late 60's makes this not an option.
Thanks

Wilson, Redding and Whidden should all interchange.

I have all 3 and use them in different dies.

I could be wrong but, I think Forster are the only bushings that don't interchange with the 3 mentioned. RCBS says their bushings are to be used only with their dies.

I am pretty sure that Hornady makes some dies that use neck sizing bushings. I have no idea if those bushings are interchangeable with other brands. Years ago, I got away from buying any Hornady reloading dies because I was less than pleased with their performance. However, I am sure that many here have had better luck with them than I have.
