I used my Lee neck collet die for the first time today, and had sized about 10 cases...really liked it, until I pushed too hard on the press, and pushed all the inside pieces up about a quarter inch and stripped the top threads.
Yes, I know, you must ask, "How could one do that?" Yes, I read the instructions, and adjusted correctly, I simply pressed too hard. I suppose I am used to the pressure required with standard FL sizing dies.
Here is my question...Do other neck sizing dies use collets like the Lee, or are they a sizing ball that requires lube, the RCBS or Redding, for instance?
