Question on body die with collet die

[[email protected]]

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.

Works for me in 223, 308. & 260 Rem.

German Salazar did a good test on this subject and his findings were neck die first then body die.

That was with a bushing die wasn't it?

Yes.

Body die every 2nd firing, followed by Lee collet neck sizer. Or Lee neck sizer alone.
