    I will measure this arvo - off to the to the range this morning :-)
    I presume you are talking about just the plug and its collar?

    In the meantime someone else may oblige.

    I have a number of Wilson type straight-line seaters and have measured the overall length of the following.

    .222 Rem = 96.9mm, Std Wilson
    222½ Shilen = 98.0mm, Std Wilson
    22 PPC = 92.1mm, Std Wilson
    6mm PPC = 96.5mm, Std Wilson
    30 BR = 95.9mm, Std Wilson
    .257 Roberts = 113.4mm, Std Wilson

    6.5x47mm Lapua = 104.3mm, Wilson body with a Sinclair Micro top.

    These are all small to medium length cartridges and I would think that longer cartridges, 270 Win, 280 Rem & 30-06 Sprg would have a die length of 115 to 118mm.

    Sorry EBF not much help to you. I have 223R, 6x47L, 6.5x47L, 6mmBR but all with Wilson micrometer tops. The only one with standard top I have is 284W. No 308W.
