[QUOTE="3006savage, post: 266831, member: 12069"] When I neck size with the Lee collet dies I run the locking ring all the way down and then run the die down tight in the press. I then neck size by exerting approx 20 lbs of pressure at the handle and rotate the cartridge between 90 and 180 degrees and again exert approx 25 lbs pressure on the handle. I set the dies down as far as possible so the press cannot cam over which can exert excessive force on the case and deform the shoulder. The handle stays near parallel (approx 45 Degrees) at the end of the stroke and this controls the force on the case and gives me better feel. The most important thing with the collet dies is make sure the inside of the necks are cleaned. Unlike the expander ball the mandre is stationary in the case and cannot clear carbon ect from the inside of the neck during sizinng. [/QUOTE]
