Thread: Bushing dies

Like Kamel I use FL Bushing dies to form & load multiple calibers.

I use a 204Ruger FL bushing die to load 22-204, 6mm-204 and 25-204 I have swapped out the spindle as the 204 is to small for the 224, 243, 257 tapered expander balls. I did have to open the top of the die at the junction of the shoulder and neck to allow the larger sized necks through.

Same with my 223 FL bushing die, I form and size 20 Practical, 223, and 6mmx45 with it. No need to change the spindle as it is large enough for all the expander balls.

For seaters I use the Hornady seaters with the sliding sleeve in the appropriate size as they are pretty much universal for case size . I can seat 25-204, 250-3000, 257 Roberts with the same seater. Same with the 222 Rem/ 223 will seat 22-204, 5.6x50R Mag and 22-250.
