[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1402393, member: 28965"] I prefer to full length resize my cases "once" and not size a case twice when using the lee collet die and a body die. Also too many people think using a die with a expander is the end of the world. And yet Whidden custom dies sells expander kits with five expanders, from bullet diameter to .004 under bullet diameter. The reason the lee collet die is popular is because they produce less neck runout than a bushing die. And last but not least why use a cheaply made collet die that must be sanded and polished before use. And also the Lee instructions tell you to size the neck and rotate the case 1/8 of a turn and size again. This is to reduce the longitudinal marks on the case neck that are squeezed between the slots in the collet. [/QUOTE]
