I am a BIG fan of Wilson dies.
The ONLY draw back (IMHO) is the need to FL size occasionally. Need a regular press and dies for that.
I need to start asking who uses Wilson and such arbor press dies, and what the pros and cons are. Thanks in advance for your advice, and I'm talking 6BR mainly.
The one who dies with the most toys still dies--except in Christ.

Thank you for your input Apache. I waited to see if anyone else joined in, but not so far.

I use a Wilson seater in 20 VT. My loads routinely show less than .001 bullet runout.

never checked run out with my .223 dies but im sure its pretty low. i like the sensitivity, you can really tell if your neck tension varies. I have never bumped shoulders on my .223 and after 8 or 9 firings i never noticed any differences. I would also recommend using a universal decapping die as it takes forever to do on an arbor press.

Is there any advantage of using just the Wilson Bullet seater?
The advantage with the wilson dies,is you do not contend with the play any screw- in die will have.When you set up a 7/8x14screw-in die,run the case into the die before locking it down.This helps center the die,both sizing and seating.The seating dies with a floating sleve help with alignment,ie Forster,Hornady,and some reddings,and RCBS.Check the runout and move the screw in dies around for minimal runout.Wilson straight line seating dies eliminates this problem.
