[QUOTE="sedancowboy, post: 2379301, member: 85874"] Please explain why you believe this. I find the opposite effect. I use a bushing FL sizing die to size the neck only as much as necessary and then use a mandrel to set final ID. An example is I will use a .290 bushing (assuming .014 neck thickness) and a .262 Mandrel. How is that over working the brass. I have never had a split neck. At least not in the last 20 years. A standard die with a expander button would move the brass neck maybe .010. Does a Lee collet die not have a Mandrel in it? I am asking because I want to learn not to argue. Henry [/QUOTE]
