Been researching and checking on getting a set of LEE Collett dies with Dead Length seating Die. Has anyone used them ? Of course can only ( should be ) used for cases Fire Formed and only shot in ONE GUN. I don't think I am getting a constant Taper Crimp on my .223 bench gun. Also could use a set for the .243, as I only have one of those also.

Took a 20 round box of once shot cases of .308s shot thru my neighbors Rem. I had loaded them last year for him. He took two deer and they shot good. They were full length sized. I trimmed them all to same length and neck sized them only. Primed with Federal GM210s. Will try two different bullets, a flat based 150 gr (used last year) and a Boat Tail 150 gr. Will seat to same as last year and let him try them both. Will load with same charge of 3031 to start.

OK........Dumb A$$ checking back in. I do have the collet dies and dead length seating dies in .308, .243, and .223. I had bought the LEE Deluxe 3 die set which come with both full length sizing and collet die and dead length seating die. I had obtained the factory crimp dies and set aside the collet die and forgot I had them....DUH !!! While checking the Lee site I saw the Deluxe set came that way and I said....Hey I got those.....somewhere.....:eek:

Ever buy something wrong and it turned out right in the long run ?
