[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1337283, member: 101755"] I traded for a set of 300WM Lee Dies and it was a three die set. The Hurricane has us pinned down for now so I'm playing on the internet. I don't normally have time... I've been meaning to ask if everyone rolling their own for precision shooting used Collet dies? I've heard of neck sizing, never have...dad was FL sizer so I followed what was working. All we ever worried about was MOA of dead deer. So that what I've been doing since the late 70's. Any way after following the break procedure my first attempt at group was a 5 shot bug hole that is 0.578. Not sure how much better it can get but I know this has to be easier on the brass. It is certainly faster without having to lube and clean the cases. I really would like to make/buy one for 6.5-06...have one build in the works (waiting on barrel) and have one already one in 6.5-06. I think this caliber would benefit quite a lot from this process if it will improve neck tension. I've never turned a neck either...might have to look into that as well... [/QUOTE]
