[QUOTE="woods, post: 1162049, member: 6042"] There is a way to "fool" a Lee Collet neck sizer, that is if you can find the right size washer. The critical measurement on a Lee Collet is the dimension from the case head to the neck/shoulder junction. That measurement for the 6.5x284 is 1.920". For the 6.5x55 (which you can buy a Lee Collet for) is 1.852". If you can find or make a washer that is .473" or just a little larger and is .068" thick, you can put it around the case head on the shell holder [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/CASE%20PREP/DSCN0030.jpg[/IMG] I use this method sometimes to leave a part of the neck unsized [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/forsterneckdiecase.gif[/IMG] I have also sent off to Lee for a custom Lee Collet in 6.5 rem mag and that turned out well [/QUOTE]
