RELOADING WITH WILSON DIES AND AN ARBOR PRESS

1.Set the neck die base on the base of the arbor press. The neck die base is black incolor, a little larger in diameter than the Wilson die. It has steps turned on each end. The steps on one end of the base are not as deep as on the other end. The end with the shallow steps is the top.

2. There are two alien screws on top of the Wilson neck die. Remove them and remove the top of the die. This will expose the recess for the neck bushing. Insert the bushing and reassemble the top to the die. The size number stamped on one side of the bushing should face up. If you want a tighter fit, place the numbers down. This will increase tension by .0003".

3. To size a case take a fired case and insert it into the neck die. Set the die, with base of fired case pointing up, on neck die base. Adjust the arbor press head (blue part on the Haydon press) so that the fired case, die and neck die base slip under the ram of the arbor press when the rack gear is in the up position. This adjustment is made by loosening the large alien screw on the right side of the blue head and sliding it vertically to the desired height, then locking the screw. Now push the fired case into the die with the ram. Turn the die over and push the pin down. This removes the primer from the case and the case from the die.

4. Reprime the case and charge it with powder.

5. Seat a bullet using the seater base. Put the base on the arbor press base. Set a bullet on the case mouth. Put the die over the bullet/case and slide under the press ram. Seat bullet. Adjust the seater stem per instructions with the seater.
