I have been a big believer in neck size only dies for a long time, but I do not like the Lee collet dies. They do work, but you have to set them to cam over the top with a fair amount of presure. You will hear alot of people tell you that you will have to set back your shoulder with a FL dies every few loadings, but these are people that have never necked sized only or are running pretty high presures. Personally I like neck size only dies and dip the case necks in Mica mixed with number 12 shot. I seen Midway had a brush set of some sort to apply mica to case necks, but I have been doing it my way since the 1970`s and see no reason to change now. I started useing graphite back then and it worked just as well, but mica seem to be alittle cleaner. With the collet dies you do not need the lube but I load on a progresive press and don`t need the extra hassel of the collet dies, besides I don`t like the line they leave on the case necks. Just so you know where I`m comming from, I don`t like anything Lee. I think it`s to cheaply made and will not hold up under the volume of ammo I load.
