[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 2421107, member: 96274"] So here’s my dilemma. I have a 338 Norma mag improved and I really wanna use a Lee collet die at least for the first firing or two on my brass. However Lee doesn’t make a collet neck die for 338 Norma and going the custom die route from them is pretty expensive. So what I’m thinking is I could buy the Lee collet die for 338 Lapua mag. Of course I would try the die first to see if maybe it works as is but I’m kinda doubting it will because the Lapua is quite a bit longer then the Norma. So what I have in mind is to cut the Lee die down, taking equal amounts off both the sleeve and the die body. Now does anyone with experience with the Lee die and exactly how it works know if this is a doable modification to the Lee collet die and should work fine as long as I get the length right??? Your help is appreciated guy’s Joshua [/QUOTE]
