Wilson bushing neck die???

I just bought my first ever Wilson Bushing neck sizer die. I have been loading for a few years now but never with this type of die. I have a couple questions that i think i know the answers to but i wanted to ask here so that i dont screw anything up. My rifle is way to accurate for me to do something wrong with the die. I bought the die second hand as it was still new in the box. the die is for my 6dasher. I have been using Forster dies and they seem to work just fine, as i have shot some nice groups with them. Anyway The die didnt come with a bushing. I have no idea what bushing i should buy for this sizer. I think the Forster sizes around 3 thou but i am not sure without measuring. Were do i want to be as far as neck tension goes with a dasher. If someone could shed some light on this subject for me that would be great. Also the decapping rod. Where should this be set at? Do i set it so that it just does knock out the primer? And last but not least. I do not have an arbor press. can i even use this die without one? I have been wanting one so if i have to buy one no big deal!! I know these seem like pretty basic questions for some of you fellas but this is all new to me. I havent ever used this style of die. Should this type of die make better more accurate reloads compared to a standard screw in die? any info is appreciated!! Lee
 
Neck tension, 2 or 3 thou under loaded neck diameter.

You don't set the decapping rod, just the tension on the set screws. It needs to slide to decap and drive the case out.

You don't need an arbor press. Drive the case flush to the bottom with a leather or plastic mallet and tap on the decapping rod to remove the primer and drive the case out.
 
I found a video on You Tube on how to use them. pretty simple deal it seems!! Thanks guys!! Lee
