[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 868798, member: 21068"] Certainly worth a try! It's the shoulder and body that we don't want to touch in this case (your case:)). We simply want to size the neck enough to reload another round if I am understanding you correctly.?? Granted, whatever we come up with is only temporary; because we'll eventually have to get a "real" Ackley Improved die to FL size the case with. In the long run, our best precision will likely come from using a genuine Ackley 40°die. I didn't have these worries when building the 6LD, because I had a fitted neck chamber.........meaning that I didn't have to resize the brass at all to take another bullet/reload. My finished/final dies were made by Neil Jones Custom Products. [B]Gene Bland:[/B] I don't know a darn thing about the Lee Collet Dies. Are they made to precisely fit the parent case or are they just big open holes with a bushing/collet that fits the neck.?? Most dies fit the case (more or less). They accommodate the shoulder angle, body taper, base dimension, shoulder dimension, neck dimension and OAL in order to center or align the case when pressing it into the die. Are the Lee collet dies something different? [/QUOTE]
