[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1885567, member: 38048"] The body die Redding sells is the same as a full length die except it has no neck functions. I don't know why you would use a full length die and then run it through a body die. As per Blackhawk. And 95% of full length dies will bump your shoulder back with out buying special shell holders. The occasional die will need . 005 trimmed from the bottom of it to get it down far enough. Or you could modify a shell holder or buy the compatition shell holders. To me it's easy to just stick it in a lathe and take some off the bottom. The body die comes in a set of dies also. The neck sizing set. The body die doesn't come in a set with a full length sizer because it's redundant. All you guys using the body die with the Lee collet is doing a good thing. It will definitely make straighter ammo. I only use the full length die because it makes ammo straight enough for me. If I thought straighter ammo shot better I would do it too. I've shot 3 inch 10 shot groups at 1000 yards in a match with my crooked ammo. There are far more important things to accuracy than straighter ammo. Shep [/QUOTE]
