[QUOTE="g0rd0, post: 1098525, member: 44168"] Ok, a collet die like the Lee die is not ment to be used with a FL die. To put any brass through a FL die then a collet die is a waste of your time and defeats the purpous of a collet die. What a collet die does is squeeze the "neck" of the brass onto a mandrel witch controls the neck tension, it will not do anything to the body of the fired brass. That leaves the body fire formed to your chamber increasing the case capacity (compared to FL sized brass) and also increases the life of your brass. There maybe a collet die out there that squeezes the belt but I do not know of 1 or why it would be of any value. Go to walmart and get a 20 pack of winchester factory loads shoot em, and size them if they also mar the belts and webs it is your die not the brass. If I did not say this before I will say it again, I like FC brass in my 7rm. But I did try some remington factory loads and the same happened to me when I fl sized them, not only that the belts would get stuck in my collet die. I tossed em. [/QUOTE]
