L.E. Wilson 6.5x55mm Swede Bushing Neck Sizing Die

The L.E. Wilson 6.5x55mm Swede Bushing Neck Sizing Die (part no. SND-6555) is a chamber-type neck die from L.E. Wilson, built for handloaders who want tighter concentricity than a standard press die delivers. Rather than threading into a conventional press, it works with the Wilson case-length gauge and a hand arbor press to size only the neck of once-fired 6.5x55mm Swede brass, leaving the body and shoulder exactly as the chamber formed them. A separately matched steel bushing controls case neck tension precisely, which is why precision rifle and short-range benchrest shooters reach for this style of die when standard-press neck sizing isn’t consistent enough.

Key Specifications

• Chambered specifically for 6.5x55mm Swede cases, sizing only brass fired in that chamber.
• Neck-only sizing leaves the case body and shoulder untouched for better concentricity than full-length dies.
• Built for the L.E. Wilson case-length gauge and arbor press system, not a threaded standard-press die.
• Uses an interchangeable steel neck bushing, selected separately, to dial in exact case neck tension.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this die thread into a standard reloading press? No. It’s a chamber-type die designed for the L.E. Wilson case-length gauge and arbor press system rather than a conventional threaded single-stage or turret press.

What’s the advantage of a neck-only sizing die over a full-length die? It sizes just the neck of 6.5x55mm Swede brass to set bullet tension while leaving the body and shoulder as the chamber formed them, which is why precision and benchrest shooters use it for improved concentricity and case life on brass fired in the same rifle.
