[QUOTE="woods, post: 111818, member: 6042"] [ QUOTE ] I also like the the Lee Collet dies. I also have a couple rifles that need to be ran through a FL die after ever firing. My question is could Lee or any other die manf. build a collet die that could FL the brass? That would great!!! Moe [/ QUOTE ] For each caliber I load for I have a box with 4 dies in it. Lee Collet Neck Sizer Redding Body Die RCBS Competition Seater Lee Factory Crimp Die When the cases get tight on about the 3rd or 4th loading, I use the Redding Body Die to PFLR and push the shoulder back .001". The body die will have to be used for each successive reloading on those cases. Works great for me and I have not noticed any difference in accuracy between PFLR and neck sizing. Along with a thorough steel wooling of the inside of the necks after sizing, I feel like the Lee Collet and the Lee Factory Crimp (light crimp only) lead to consistant bullet release. Just my way of doing it. Also, on some long necked cases like the 30-06 or 270 I put a washer around the case on top of the shell holder when using the Lee Collet Die. This leaves a portion of the neck - that is the thickness of the washer - fire formed to the chamber and centers the neck by contact. Seems to reduce brass life though. [/QUOTE]
