A friend I shoot with has been using the Lee collet neck-sizing dies on his .25-06 and his .308 lately, and he swears by them. He also swears by two bench rifles that I can outshoot with stock Remington 721s.
I've always neck sized by backing my Pacific rifle dies out 2 turns from FL resizing, but I want to pick up some NS dies. I'm not a competition shooter, but I spend a lot of time on my reloading. I know that Redding comp dies and some others have a much better reputation, but the Lees interest me, especially for as cheap as they are.
I'm also curious about the collet bullet seating dies from Lee, since the two dies often come as a pair. I already have stock Pacific or RCBS dies for all the rifles I shoot; am I better off using the RCBS/Pacific seating dies or the Lee collet seating dies?
Any experiences you can share with me about Lee collet neck-sizing dies would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
