[QUOTE="woods, post: 285813, member: 6042"] You can also size only part of the neck with the Lee Collet by using a washer on top of the shell holder [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/CASE%20PREP/DSCN0030.jpg[/IMG] It leaves part of the neck unsized the width of the washer [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/forsterneckdiecase.gif[/IMG] You can Partial Full Length Resize by setting your gun up and repeatedly chambering and resizing the cases until the crush fit just barely goes away but you also get a lot of useful info from the Headspace Gauges. It is easier to check a whole loading block of cases to see which ones might need to have the shoulder bumped, especially if you are using cases with a different number of firings. And it will give you info on your chamber headspace (or head clearance in a belted case), tell you how consistant the dimensions on new brass is and then make the shoulder bump process more precise. I use the Hornady set that goes on the calipers and find them very useful. [/QUOTE]
