[QUOTE="RangerEd, post: 496998, member: 23795"] Hi everyone, About a month ago, i posted my brass wouldnt necksize back and the consesus was that the brass was work hardened and it needed annealing. Well, i tried annealing this brass (Fed Brass, .308 Win 3x fired) and still had the same results (no neck tension, zero, zip, nada). I decided I didn't anneal the brass right and loaded up some new Winchester Brass that I had neck sized months ago but had not yet used. Went to the range last weekend and used those new cases. This week, I decided to reload those 1x fired Winchester cased and ran them through my Lee Collett die. Decided to spot check them before I commeted primers to it (placing a bullet on top of the case to see if it will have tension when I do seat the bullet). Well, I have again no tension as I can Easily push in and pull out a bullet. I have never done anything to this die other than set it and use it. I have only ran about 500 or so cases through it. What could have happened to this die? Do I need to just buy a new die? [/QUOTE]
