I actually prefer lee dies to rcbs dies. I like the collet die better than any other neck sizer. I even had a custom collet die made for my .264 win mag. My first press was a lee and I loaded around five thousand rounds before I bought a hornady, but I still have and use the lee.

I have a mixed bag of loading equipment ,My point is you have to load alot to pay for the more expensive loading stuff. If you only make a few 100 then they will work fine for ya!

Lee is a great brand, they put out a quality product at a price anyone can afford. Their dies are awsome and affordable. Check out this web site. http://www.jamescalhoon.com/

My reloading equiptment consists of parts from a lot of manufactors that I have gotten over the last 50 years.I have dies by RCBS,lyman,redding and lee.I load a couple hundred bullets a week just to shoot the next week,useing a single stage rcbs.
Last year I got the bright idea to change over to the lee collet dies for all calibers,243,260,30/06,223,22/250,270,308,7/08,25/06 and 7 mag,All work great except I am haveing trouble with the 7/08 and 22/250,I have adjusted and adjusted,set it up exactly by the instructions,one case will go in the chamber just like it is susposed to,next one will be very tight,next one won't go in at all,not in any single order,or case brand.So I have went back to the redding for the 7/08 and use the full size lee for the 22/250.till I get the collet dies working for these calibers.
Over all I really like the lee collet dies and accuracy doesn't demish because of them.
Anyone got any ideaswhy I am haveing trouble with these two?

was the brasss fired in your rifles? I know stupid question but the place to start.

herman

yes all brass was fired in each rifle.

Try loading the brass in the chamber before resizing them and see if they are already tight. I have seen brass from hot loads that are a bit snug just from firing. Could be the chamber isn't perfectly round and it did not go back in the same as it came out or something like that. Neck sizing with the Lee colletshould not change the case from loose to tight unless there is a problem with the length of the collet or insert. Check them before and after sizing and see if there is a difference. Take the firing pin out to feel the case only when test fitting will help in the feel department. Good luck.

I use the dies and never had problem. I cant see paying that much for the equipment when they seem to work good.Well back to my blueberry waffles and sausage.
