[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 1871565, member: 12282"] Well if you want to sell that neck sizer for the Swede after you crush your 6.5x284 case, let me know. Sorry to be an @ss, but the Swede has a neck length of .313 and the 6.5x284 is .268 (per my Hornady manual in front of me). Your collet die is going to hit the shoulder of the 6.5x284 before it hits the shell holder and then bad things will ensue....... Hope I'm wrong. Suspect I'm right..... And I think I already have a collet die for my Swede, but I'd need to check as I've not loaded for the old girl in a couple years. As for the collet dies from Lee, I have been positively impressed, though I tend to use bushings and a Sinclair mandrel expander more these days to try and achieve the same concept: minimal work hardening of the brass.
