    The combination of a body die and a collet neck die works the neck the least. It is never expanded. Simply squeezed from the fire formed diameter against a known sized mandrel.
    Well I'm definitely pedantic - case in point, a collet neck die doesn't work the neck any less than a bushing die if the neck wall thickness is equal all round. However, most unturned cases have maybe .0005/.001 variation in neck thickness so theoretically you could claim that the collet die works the neck less even if's only .00025/.0005.
