The Lee Precision 90713 Collet 2-Die Set delivers precision neck sizing and bullet seating for .270 Winchester cartridges. This collet die system produces straighter cases with less work hardening compared to traditional full-length sizing dies. Handloaders achieve consistent neck tension and extended brass life through the gentle collet action that sizes only the neck portion.
What Makes This Different
The collet die design eliminates the need for case lubrication during neck sizing operations. Standard full-length dies require lubricants and resize the entire case body, potentially shortening brass life. This 2-die set uses precision-machined collets that compress uniformly around the case neck, maintaining proper bullet grip while preserving case concentricity. The system reduces sizing force requirements by approximately 50% compared to conventional dies.
Key Features
- Collet neck sizing die eliminates case lubrication requirements
- Dead length bullet seating die with built-in crimp adjustment
- Precision-ground collets provide uniform neck compression
- Standard 7/8-14 threading fits all major reloading presses
- Hardened steel construction with corrosion-resistant finish
- Includes shell holder and powder dipper
- Complete instructions with load data references
Reloaders report improved accuracy potential from the reduced case working and consistent neck tension. The collet system works particularly well for bolt-action rifles where cases are fired in the same chamber repeatedly. Competition shooters benefit from the minimal case distortion, while hunters appreciate the simplified setup process. The dies function reliably across temperature ranges without adjustment requirements.
