Wilson FL sizing dies

[grovey]

Do the old style Wilson FL sizing hand dies use bushings too?

Mine do

Not the full length Wilson 243 die I bought approx. 25 years ago. Very poor design; can not control neck tension or shoulder bump. One needs a very stout arbor press to size. I used a B-Square dual column press(an excellent press I still use). With the rod Wilson provided, one must hammer the case from the die after sizing. Mine has functioned well for decades as a paper weight.

I haven't reloaded long enough to use those hand sizer Dies.

Those old arbor press fl sizing dies are useless unless you use a hydraulic press- and im not talking about the 21st century arbor press either- im talking pressing wheel bearing races

Thanks . I had my doubts.
