[QUOTE="WbySub-MOA, post: 158891, member: 8749"] [b]Re: Lee Collet[/b] The Lee Collet doesn't work the shoulder area, from my experiences as I use them religously. Its sole focus of operation is on the neck being squeezed around the mandrel. If you have the die adjusted too deep into the frame, you run a risk of springing the collet- no cause for alarm...just disassemble and un-spring it. Back the die out and ..with the ram at full stroke.. screw the die down until it just engages the shellholder, then give it 1 (one) turn. Size your case, take an ID reading of the neck w/your calibers and you might have to give the die another quarter turn. Another thought- most compound presses that cam-over-top stroke can present a problem w/overworking the collet. Be sure, when you adjust the die, that your ram is at the top of its stroke.
