neck tension question\ lee crimp

[nekshot]

I ask this because I don't have a 7mm mauser lee factory crimp die! My military barrel neck is a wee bit large and the spent cartridge will not hold a jacket bullet snug, so after shooting if I want to shoot jacket again I run up full length sizer till I reduce neck enough to hold jacket. After in serting bullet I stick cartridge back into FL die and get a little more crimp on bullet. Is this ok or should I get a Lee collet sizer? The gun a vz24- with new barrel is shooting tight now with front pressure on barrel so accuracy is fine.

It sounds like you could go a little larger on boolit diameter and solve the problem that way.

sorry I didn't explain this better, this is for shooting jacket bullets and not over working the brass. For cast this chamber and neck is a dream to load!

So I guess you are trying to avoid full length sizing? I did purchase the Lee collet sizing dies for 8mm Mauser and do like it, it works. It's pretty cheap.
