[QUOTE="woods, post: 282631, member: 6042"] As far as adjusting the Lee Collet goes, I move the lock nut up to the top of the threads [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0401.jpg[/IMG] this will put the press handle as close to horizontal as possible. YOU DO NOT WANT THE HANDLE TO CAM OVER! That will put too much stress on the die and maybe pop the aluminum cap. The instructions say to put 25 pounds of pressure on the handle and with the handle as close to horizontal as possible it makes it easier to gauge how much pressure you are getting on the handle. If you want to leave part of the neck the fire formed size it is easy to get a washer and put it on top of the shell holder [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/CASE%20PREP/DSCN0030.jpg[/IMG] and it will leave part of the neck (the thickness of the washer) fire formed size [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/forsterneckdiecase.gif[/IMG] Whether this helps or not I have been unable to verify and most of my guns are tight necked custom rebarrels where the benefit would be minimalized anyway.
