I recently started a thread about taming runout, and got a lot of recommendations for lee collet dies. And i get why, as the concept of squeezing the neck around a predetermined stem size tends to produce concentric brass with consistent neck tension, at a far better value than bushing dies, which usually require the necks to all be turned. So i google and come up with nothing for the 338 lapua cartridge?? Then i went to their website and nothing??
For such a popular cartridge, I'm surprised. It looks like one would have to do a custom order for one (which they have suspended custom orders) and it would be considered a large carriage and they'd want $150 for it anyway. Big price jump from the $40 sets they carry...
I guess I'm kinda just ranting, but also looking for advice on other good, non bushing neck sizer dies, if there is such a thing.
I am currently running a redding competition FL bushing die and having decent results. But i want to work up a single feed (longer than mag length) chamfered fired brass load for extended long range shooting.
