[QUOTE="3006savage, post: 294324, member: 12069"] The beauty of the Lee collets is you do not need a reliable area to stop. Regardless of how much pressure you exert on the handle beyond around 20lbs the collet will not give anymore and neck tension will not change. Truth be told when I try to partial size the necks in order lightly hold a bullet while finding my seating depth I cannot use more than around 5 - 10 lbs of force or the neck will be fully sized and I cannot slide the bullet in. If you use the toggle over method variances in case lengths will actually cause less consistent neck tension because shorter cases will not have as much pressure exerted on the dies. [/QUOTE]
