[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1101912, member: 91090"] $300 is about right. Sometimes they can be hard to find. just remember you must have a good dial caliper buy the match forster or redding dies. For a bolt gun I would buy the lee collet neck sizing die and only use my full length sizing die for the first loading and when the brass starts to get a little snug on chambering. Lots of different primers out there. I have never used the one on my co-ax. I use this. It is kind of old timey like me but has a great feel seating the primer. Takes a little practice to learn to load the primer tube but after you figure it out its actually pretty quick.

Don't do it too much. I find my guns like the brass about half way between min and max. Short necks really screw up neck tension. I hate trimming brass with my hand trimmer.
