[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 663074, member: 24624"] I don't shoot 50 BMG. I do use Lee collet dies. So, take this with a grain of salt. Collet dies and press, arguably require a bit more attention to setup in order to work correclty. No big deal after you've read, experimentedm and the light bulb goes off. However, they can be a tad sensitive to the amount of pressure used in your sizing stroke. They get the job done on large rifle magnum cartridges. But, I wonder if the much larger/heavier 50 BMG is going to be even more sensitive/finicky with the amount of pressure that you apply to the press. Hence, I might be inclined to go with a bushing die if possible. Then, you have total control without variation that might be introduced from stroke to stroke. Hopefully you'll get responses from people that are sizing 50 BMG with various dies. -- richard [/QUOTE]
