[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1443384, member: 96274"] Darton; your method is slightly off. The full length sizing die with expander removed will size your necks too small and the Lee collet die would be trying to size the neck even smaller. For example my Forster full length die with expander removed will size my brass to .327. The expander ball will expand the neck back out to .333, in my case giving me .002 neck tension (loaded round measures .335). So basically my FL die sizes the neck .006 more than needed. For your method you would need either a body die that does not size the neck then use the Lee collet neck die. Or use the Forster full length die with expander ball removed then use a mandrel to expand the neck to the size you want. [/QUOTE]
