    New Lee 45-70 collet neck sizing die

    Has anyone got any information on this die?
    I think the need for the large thread and the high cost will make it a collectors item.

    Hmmmmm. I might have to look into one of those. No more messing around with lube. Straight from the die to the trimmer.

    Have to wait for it to get to the retailers for better pricing.

    That die will work in my Lock n Load Hand Press with the LnL Bushing Removed. Simple to do.

    Of course this die would only work in this LnL Hand Press. I don't remember sending any to Finland but I can if you want one.

    I saw this die on their site and wondered why as well as what diameter the collet would be and how much and how long it would take to get larger collets.

    Yep, website mentions it is designed with the Classic Cast press, w/1 1/4x12 threaded body. Seems like the largest standard size collet die is 338 Laupa. 45-70 and 50 BMG use 1 1/4x12...
