Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Has the time come for Lee to offer a 17 Hornet collet die?loving

Having learned of the advantages of the collet neck sizing die my collection of these dies has grown quit a little.

For me getting away from wiping on and then off the lube has been the biggest advantage from my perception.

As for the 17 Hornet I have been very pleased with the case capacity The rimmed case has been the only deturent for me. Using the rimmed case in the bottom feeding repeater has proven to be a little frustrating for me. No such frustrations for the 17 FB so the 17 HH has been spending a lot more time in the stable.

When I decided to order a few custom collet Neck dies I opted to go with my two favorite cartridges I use in my favorite CZ 527 actions. So the 6.5 Grendel and the 17 Fire ball were treated to the collet Neck sizing dies. No regrets thus far.
