    I tried and tried to get the competition shell holder to fix some of my older lapua swede cases. I ended up having a mate shave off a thou from the shell holder just to get it to bump the shoulder it to saami. This was after about 12 cycles and amp annealed every firing. Just couldnt get the case in far enough in any of my dies (forster, hornady or redding). Glad to hear its not just me!
    But as for the necks, i was already using a type s collet die to play around with neck turning.
