I use the Lee collet neck sizing dies, running 150g Hornady FMJ's at 2700fps with Varget, and have had no problems at all. I'm only on my 5th loading of some cases though, but no sticky bolt closing...

I turn al the mandrils down on all of my Lee collet dies. IMHO Lee uses an over size mandrill to begin with, All of mine are reduced to around ,300". That is how a 303 British can size down for .308"...

In the near future I will try to neck-size for the K31 using a Lee Collet die for .308 Win with a ring between the die and the shellholder of 4,30 mm (+/- .17").I always followed the advise to...

that neck sizing only with full bore loads in a k31 will result in extreme difficulty to extract by the third or fourth time. This seems to be peculiar to the k31. Very light loads with lighter...

New to the Board and new to the SR. I have neck sized for years as has others. Has anyone had any success with, maybe three neck sizing followed by a full length resizing? Just curious.
View ArticleRe: Neck resizing vs. full length
It mostly depends on the pressure of your loads. Below about 35,000 c.u.p., neck sizing will work fine, more or less indefinitely. At 40,000 and above, chambering and extraction become more difficult...

I read somewhere that repetitive use of extremely light loads results in shoulder setback. That gave me the idea of alternating mild loads with full-powered loads in a batch of cases. I'm up to seven...

Folks, I have the .303 brit Lee Collet die set, but remember being warned to not neck size, or the cartridges wouldn't chamber correctly.I was wondering how you all use the collet die set? As I said,...

I used a Lee 308 Collet Die set to reload 7.5x55 using a washer on top of the shell holder to keep the 7.5x55 case from entering too far and being crushed. Then I finally just modified a Lee No. 3...

The .308 has less body taper than the 7.5. That will make it slightly easier to chamber a fired and neck-sized case.Resp'y,Bob S.The Shootist formerly (and still!) known as Bob S.

I full-length size every time with Redding. Is there any other rifle/caliber that you would avoid neck sizing?

I became generally aware of differences between GP11 cartridge (K31) dimensions to their respective dies made by Lee and RCBS. I called Lee and talked to a gunsmith/technician (which isn't to say that...
View ArticleRe: Neck resizing vs. full length
The information you received from the Lee representative about shoulder angle is erroneous. The difference is in body taper. Dies made for the 1911 chamber work fine for all models. Those made for the...

Hi guys,for my K31 only works with "full length" sizeing! Hornady Die 7,5x55 K31 "Series IV"no chance to "neck-size" with my Redding! Not one case fits my chamber without "FL"!

I'm looking for more responses if anyone is successfully neck sizing for their K31 rifle(s). For K31, I've paired the Lee Collet Set (7.5x55 Swiss) with the Hornady earlier made-Series III die set...

Don't hold your breath waiting. Those here who have tried it are generally done trying by the second or third round with their brass.

Hi There Everyone. I am new to this forum and have been reading with interest. Now I know why my K31 is so difficult to eject my reloaded brass. I thought I was building the loads too hot! Turns out...
