Hi all. I have been shooting and reloading for AR's for quite some time with good success. Now I have a .308 bolt gun and am TRYING to reload using the neck sizing only method with the die listed above and having the dickens of a time getting it right. I am using .308 LC Match brass.
Initially, using my once shot brass(shot thru my rifle), I couldn't get the brass to feed into the die. Someone suggested that I play with the "prongs" inside the die. So I did that and got them to feed into the die properly.
I then charged the brass with Varget and when I attempted to seat the 175 SMK, the bullet is loose in the cartridge due to lack of neck tension!
I know some love the Lee Collet die but not others. I would like to stay with neck sizing as it simplifies the reloading process with apparently good results(what I have been told).
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
