    6.5mm/.260 Lee collet die question

    Does anyone have a 6.5mm or preferably .260 Lee Collet neck die that they can measure the ID of the main body of the die for me?

    I'm hoping a 6.5PRC case (.532") will fit in it as the .260Rem is pretty much the same case length (2.030" vs 2.035"). If it fits i could probably grind/shim the bottom of the die so that it still actuates against the shell holder.
    Then i can vary my neck tension/or neck size only! I'm too cheap to buy a Bushing die!

    I cheated with the trimming tool by using a .260rem Lee guage. (Ground 0.005 of the tip )

    Yep I have one. I don't have a 260 anymore so I'll sell it to you and you can measure it yourself

    It's out in the shed, I'll have a measure tomorrow and let you know.
