    I'm sorry that I can't help you out here, although I've been reloading Swiss since around 1989. I'm not sure if Lee sell individual parts of their die-sets, so you might have to buy the whole shebang. Not expensive tho'.

    Where do YOU shoot Swiss?

    like Tac says, buy the whole set its not expensive, personally I use the full length resizing die, neck sizing on a straight pull is just asking for trouble

    I agree.

    The Lee die sizes the necks a bit much compared to the RCBS ones I have. Got quite a few cracked cases after just one reload. Decided to use RCBS after that.

    I've been shooting a K31 and a K11 since late 1989, and reloading using Lee dies as they suit the tighter chamber of the K31 to a tee.

    I ALWAYS FL size.

    full length resizing works fine for me as well, neck sizing will only give you problems

    Yes indeed, he was the best friend we had on swissrifles forum. I used to josh with him a lot, him in Dutch and me in Afrikaans. I'll really miss him.

    I reload both cast and jacketed bullets. I only use the Lee collet die and get no problems.

    Collet sizing 7.5

    Fired off 40 rounds, collet sized, no problems. We will see how many reloads I can get before I have to FL resize. I am tempted to buy a lee collet for the 308. I assume that Lee have the patent rights to the collet die since no one else seems to make them. A great shame about Frank on the Swiss Rifles forum, he was a mine of information.
