    Question on body die with collet die

    Should I put my 300 WM brass through the body die than collet die, or visa versa. I think I found I get less run out doing the body die first.

    Few questions on QuickLoad

    1.) For finding case capacity in 300 WM or 300 WSM, the instructions say grains of water in fired- unsized case (just leave it the same on new brass?), still the case? 2.) Should i try and figure out cross sectional bore area? 3.) For imputing case capacity overflow, should I ask my...

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    Great info, some of it haha. How do you use the lee collet die on new norma brass with .003" neck tension? Should I just expand it with the collet die, or expand it with my K&M neck turner and skim the necks? I want it to be consistant I.D For 0X and 1X, not .003 than .001. Thanks

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    I already know that, I use a collet die. I know most competitions use bushing dies, I never had any luck with my redding type S die.

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    I actually could see how a variance in neck thickness could cause different tension. Think if the collet only squeezed on the thicker side, but didn't push the thinner side against the mandrel. It could also be possible that the thinner side will spring back more than the thicker side.

    Neck dies Bushing vs Collet

    My redding type S die was causing me a ton of run out, I switched to a lee collet and redding body die, and the results are very noticeable. Don't know if I had a dud die or what but the type S was giving me up to .008" run off, now under .001" with the lee, I love it. Neck turned norma brass...

    K&M neck turning mandrel causing run out.. Please help

    Yeah I can't slip the new brass over the neck turning pilot. It creates very even neck tension! I just don't want to do it if it causes .004" runout.

    K&M neck turning mandrel causing run out.. Please help

    What's also weird is the mandrel has no way of securing the case, the mandrel just sticks below the die threads. It looks like sinclaires supports the case?

    K&M neck turning mandrel causing run out.. Please help

    I knew I should have got the Sinclair! Haha the mandrel is certainly sizing my new norma brass. After is been opened up I can almost slip the .308 bullet in with no ease. It is a good for on the pilot however, and I would say I'm not torquing it because I measured the run out right after...

    K&M neck turning mandrel causing run out.. Please help

    That's what I would have figured, but the expander mandrel is causing me .004" runout and the only way to possibly fix that is to fire form it, which to me is unexeptable. I would like runout to stay the same as the new case (.001") or better.
