[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 395191, member: 9215"] "boomtube - I think I read on the Lee site that one should not use their collet dies for hunting ammunition. Is that true and if so do you know why?" It's a common precaution to only use easy chambering ammo for serious hunting so that's not unique to using Lee's neck sizer. Why? Neck sized cases may not chamber as slick and smoothly as FL sized cases. I suppose it's a good idea to only use FL sized ammo but it's never been a problem for me, I use neck sized ammo for anything. BUT - I DO suggest feeding from the magazine and chambering [U]every[/U] hunting reload before leaving home with it, both neck AND full length sized stuff. [/QUOTE]
