I have a real pretty Remington Model 14 in 30 Remington. I have full sizing dies (RCBS) and the Lee Collet Neck sizing dies (30-30 / 30 Rem). Anyway I wanted to see if once fired brass would chamber easily if only neck sized as pump actions do not have the closing torque/power as bolt actions.
To cut to the chase I was a little chagrined in that the Lee Collets neck sizing resulted in a loose hold on both some .307 and .308 Bullets. As a good note, the neck sized cartridge chambered easily but am wonder why the collet didn't neck down to a slightly smaller neck.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
By the way, if you have never held/fired a Model 14 they are truly a pleasure.
