  "The Lee Collet die is set up for about .001 neck tension. Many handloaders feel this to be inadequate.
  "That's true but, IMHO, they are provably wrong; a thou or so is all of the "neck tension" anyon...

  You obviously know the arguments and "logic" (such as it is) both ways. Those who live in fear of unseen
  demons won't be persuaded otherwise and, personally, I don't care what they are afraid of but t...

  None of us were born knowing much. The collet neck sizer has a moving part - the collet - so it does have
  a short learning curve. From what I read on the web, seems some guys never get it.

  "If you shoot a well maintained, quality gun, it doesn't matter"Amen. Even if it's a low quality gun.

  Herter's was put out of operation by our anti-gun/anti-business/liberal controlled government about '74,

  "The .030" longer bullet fired the same size group as the first two loads."I assume you meant to say
  "cartridge", not "bullet"? You seem to have proven that 15 thou can make a difference. But you know...

  "As mentioned residue inside the case can be very dangerous. The area that will likely have damage from

  "But you can not use the sizing die. The 45 colt is too long."Actually, the length difference is not a
  problem, many of us have routinely reloaded .357 w/.38 spl dies and .44 mag w/.44 spl dies. I've ...

  " Is it possibly to use 45 acp dies to load 45 long colt? "Maybe but I doubt it. The problem will be the
  sized & expanded diameters, not the length. Don't have my manuals at hand to confirm that tho, ...

  "...just the opposite is true in straight walled handgun rounds."Well, that's true for high pressure
  autoloader rounds that have a very short leade. Revolver loads tend to work more like rifles due to...
