    Yep me too! Soft in the head that is.

    No primers falling out, very slight sticky lift though!

    Dont have a chrony yet so not sure how fast they going. I am not shooting from a plane so should be easy enough to measure

    Cheers

    Brass is pretty expensive especially in odd calipers and materials now really pricy so I'd suggest neck sizing if possible to get your $s back.

    While Im very happy with the Lee full size die, and ppl have success with lee neck collet dies, I dont....they dont like me, ie sometimes it takes 3 goes to get a fit/squeeze which means caliper checking every time, til Im happy, takes way too long for me*. So ive bought S type neck Redding competition dies for 303 and 308 and im just looking at what brass to standardise on. The bugger is the collet at $23 each per size.

    *Im going to try a new / another press shortly, my Lee alloy one might be giving to much for the collet to bite, or so its been suggested.

    Thats a good Vid, that one by Ammosmith ... I got the lee collet die after watching it, and I'm VERY happy with it.

    Love his stuff on You tube .. very informative and easy to understand and watch..

    Some guys seems to make vids coz they love the sound of their own voice
