Wilson Bushing Die for 284 ??

[KenOath]

Am looking to buy the new Wilson FL Bushing Die for my 284, was hoping someone could tell me what it sizes Lapua brass to at the .200 line and shoulder?? I'm currently using a Redding S Type FL Die which doesn't appear to be sizing at the .200 line at all and .0025 at the shoulder. I'm on my 4th firing with my brass and I'm getting fairly heavy clickers at top of bolt lift.

Im having pretty much the same issue, I've been using a Redding SB die that gets me to about .497 on Norma brass. And then I have too turn around and use the S die to bump and size the necks. Can't tell you about the Wilson die but I'm thinking a custom die from Whidden or similar would be the ticket.
Whats you're powder and charge weight? Just curious... E

I have that problem with 2 sets of Redding Type S F/L Bushing Dies. They simply will not size down far enough to bump the shoulder back. So I had the shell holders milled down 15 thousandths. This solved the problem.. Now I can set my shoulders back 2-3 thousandths.. Prior to that, the dies never even came in contact with the shoulder!

I'm using 50.1gn of H 4350, it's a moderate charge that gets me moderate speeds but the gun shoots small there. I may have to consider the Whidden route myself..

I'll talk to my smith about milling my shell holder down, that seems like an easy fix thanks for the info much appreciated.
