30br neck sizing?

Im going to be setting up to send some fired cases to harrels once i get the rifle together. My question is how to neck size only when i dont have any 30br dies? Would a lee collet die for a 308 work?
 
I just discovered an answer to this today. If you have a correct bushing, Wilson/Redding, and an RCBS collet bullet puller in 50 cal, just insert the bushing in the collet and tighten. Then put the complete device in in the reloading press and you can size the neck. I would only size down about 1/4 inch down.
 
Do you have bushings in the correct size? 324-325-326? If you do, with no die in the press, put the fired case in the shell holder and raise the ram all the way up. One of the bushings should just start on the case mouth. Tap the bushing down on the neck a short distance using a plastic screwdriver handle.. You only need to tighten the neck about .001.
Then, with the ram still up, use a flat screwdriver to leverage the bushing off.

Stuff a 100% cotton ball in a charged case in place of a projectile then pop em off in the back yard
3-3x FF cases - presto!
