Neck Sizing the 260 Rem intended for 130 Berger VLD

[LoanHarvey]

What product would you choose if you were going to shoot a 260 and primarily neck size only? I assume the neck would need to be set back occasionally. I have a RCBS FL sizing die and seater now, the green box of course. Which die would you use to compliment the standard die set?
Thank you for your input.

If I were only neck sizing, and not planning to turn necks, I'd use a Lee Collet sizer. I use one now in my two step process for loading competition loads. I run the brass through a FL body die and then run it in the collet sizer.

i run my .260 brass till the neck split,i do not anneal, i do however hone the inside of the neck with a floor model drill press, nylon brush and feed it steel wool...this insures exacting and consistent release....it shows up on the 35p with lower SD.

i just FL size the brass.

I do the same and it works very well.

FLS after every firing and remove primers with Lyman universal deprimer, then FLS and clean for 2 hours in stainless steel tumbler. Then run through Lee collet die as mentioned by XTR-no neck trimming needed. Load powder and with bullet seater that comes with the collet die for less than $30. Concentricity is always great. I use Berger VLD 140 gr. Wasn't aware they made a 130 gr flavor. Good luck.
