[QUOTE="7stw, post: 662820, member: 22854"] I have owned that exact neck neck die in 7 mag since about 1998. I have had no issues with it at all. I did have a question about it when I first bought it. I called LEE, and they were very helpful, and even gave me some tips on how to get a little tighter neck tension if I wanted it. You initial set up is critical. You need to read the directions a few times, and fully understand, where to stop. If you set it in too deep, you can actually push the shoulder back. One suggestion is to ditch the lock ring it comes with, and get a RCBS type, or any one that you can set and forget. ( Allen screw lock). Also you want to use the same shell holder every time. I have checked runout, using these dies, and it is excellent. I usually run the case through the die 2 times. After the first pass, I rotate the case about a half turn. It is good to keep the collet area well lubricated, so that it will not bind. I use graphite grease, or moly grease. A little dab will do ya! Through the years, I have enjoyed amazing accuracy using these dies. At some point, you will have to full length resize. Be careful, and watch the edge of the shoulder when yo do F/L resize. Have fun and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
