Lee collet and Redding body dies, which 1st

[6pakzak]

When using a lee collet die and Redding body die which one would you use first and why, I've been body sizing first with good results but I see many are using the collet die first.

I use the Body die first then the collet die. Just my way. Not sure which way is best. Probably doesn't make a difference.

l also use the body die first and then the collet die.The runout is very low,if any at all.The proof is at the target,dime size groups at 200 yards.

body die first for me too . I want the neck to be sized after the body ,so the body die does not distort the neck in anyway .

I did a quick check online and using body die first as I was doing is the best way as opposite can induce more runout

Redding BOS die 1st then Lee Collet.
Doing this for every rifle Redding makes a body die for. Accuracy consistency noticeably improved.

Yes I noticed my runout using Redding body then lee collet went way down, felt like I crossed a new milestone in reloading, my groups are pretty much one hole everytime, new rebel press has been fantastic too.
