[QUOTE="Davew223, post: 1705468, member: 86753"] In a word, don't. The collet die setup from Lee is a better system. Instead of having to turn your necks down to a specific diameter and then press that brass up into the bushing (which can induce runout,) the collet system has a floating mandrel that the neck is squashed down on to with the force applied perpendicular to the neck instead of in-line. The other dies are all superior in materials and machining but inferior in design. Not to mention the fact that it is WAY cheaper. Sub .15" (not a typo) groups at 100 with a 7Mag don't lie. A lot more went in to getting these groups than just the dies (heavy Kreiger barrel, chassis, optics, trigger, action, brass prep, etc.) but they are a big part of it. [/QUOTE]
