[QUOTE="Davew223, post: 1705506, member: 86753"] If you want more neck tension, just polish the mandrel down, easy to do with a drill or order one that is the size you need. As I remember mine is .004 under. .002 for the press fit and .002 for the spring back of the brass. I think Redding has the best body die and they also have shell holders kits in .001 increments which will allow you to very accurately bump the shoulder back when you need to. If you don't insist on getting every ounce of velocity you can and keep your pressures down, you hardly ever need to do this. There is a learning curve with the Lee Collet die setup and the directions are poor but once you get the hang of it, the results are unmatched. Well, almost... if i start with some thick neck brass and turn it down to .0005 under the diameter of the chamber neck. The case will spring back after firing enough for a .002 press fit. No sizing at all, just punch out the primer and reload it. Now I am using a very tight chamber. This would be impossible with a factory rifle. [/QUOTE]
