The Lee .22-250 FL die I turned into a body die wasn’t that much of a FL die itself. Seems once you cut enough away from the neck until it easily clears a case neck, you have a body die. It’s the collet neck sizer that helps keep the rounds concentric. All the body die does is set the case shoulder back just enough for easy bolt closure. Even the lesser FL dies seem to make pretty good body dies. Unless you’re shooting really hot loads, you probably won’t need a body die every time. But when you need one, you need one.
