[QUOTE="Frogman77, post: 321717, member: 15339"] The lee collet die neck sizes only. The lee full length die does that exactly, full length sizes including the neck. I don't know of a lee collet full length sizer at least that I've seen yet. I used to use the lee when I first started loading but stopped becuase of that very same issue. I use a redding body die now just to bump the shoulders back and the lee collet die to size the neck. what you can try though with your lee full length sizer is take out the center mandrel and decapping rod with the expander. I've never done it but I would think that would get rid of the neck sizing ability of the die. Then essentially you would have just a body die. You can still deprime with the lee collet die. After you lube the die and casings let them dry for a minute or so. I've found it works better. I use my fingers to even out the coating on the casings too. [/QUOTE]
