The Lee Precision 90955 Collet Die delivers precision neck sizing for 22-250 Remington cartridges without overworking brass cases. This specialized reloading die extends case life significantly compared to full-length sizing methods while maintaining consistent neck tension for improved accuracy.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional full-length dies that resize the entire case, this collet die focuses exclusively on neck sizing, preserving the fire-formed case dimensions that match your specific chamber. The mandrel-based design applies uniform pressure around the case neck circumference, eliminating the uneven sizing common with expander ball systems. This approach reduces brass work hardening and can extend case life by 300-500% over conventional sizing methods.
Key Features
- Mandrel collet system sizes case necks without expander balls
- Preserves fire-formed case body dimensions for chamber-matched fit
- Standard 7/8-14 threading fits all major reloading presses
- Hardened steel construction with precision-machined tolerances
- Includes sizing mandrel and collet assembly
- Compatible with Lee Lock Ring system for consistent die positioning
- Reduces brass preparation time compared to full-length sizing
Bench rest competitors and precision shooters recognize collet dies for their ability to maintain consistent neck tension shot after shot. The 22-250 Remington's high-velocity nature makes brass longevity particularly valuable, as cases experience significant stress during firing. This die proves especially beneficial for shooters using premium brass or those loading for single rifles where maximum case life matters more than universal chamber compatibility.
