[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1870140, member: 96316"] The crimp fingers of the collet are part of a sleeve that is cartridge specific as to length and shape. The bottom of the collet is designed to contact the shellholder, so the cases have to be very close in length, as well as base diameter. There is some small clearance. Then the collet is also shaped to fit the shoulder and taper. So if the length is the same, and the neck is the same, it may not fit if the shoulder and case taper are not the same. You could use a skinnier case in a bigger body collet if the length is the same, or very close to the same. My .375H&H collet neck die does not fit .375 RUM, and they have the same neck and the same case length. [/QUOTE]
