The Lee Precision 90956 Collet Die delivers precision neck sizing for 243 Winchester cartridges without overworking brass cases. This specialized reloading die extends case life while maintaining consistent neck tension for improved accuracy.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional full-length sizing dies that work the entire case, this collet die only sizes the neck portion of 243 Winchester brass. The collet system applies uniform pressure around the case neck circumference, preventing the excessive stress that leads to premature case failure. Reloaders typically see 2-3 times longer case life compared to conventional sizing methods.
Key Features
- Collet design sizes only the case neck, extending brass life significantly
- Precision-machined steel construction for consistent sizing operations
- Compatible with standard 7/8"-14 TPI reloading press threads
- Includes mandrel specifically sized for 243 Winchester specifications
- Maintains proper neck tension without overworking brass
- Reduces case trimming frequency by minimizing case stretch
- Works with both new and fired 243 Winchester brass cases
This collet die performs exceptionally well for precision rifle applications where case consistency directly impacts accuracy. Competitive shooters and hunters benefit from the reduced runout and consistent neck tension that translates to tighter groups downrange. The gentle sizing action preserves case concentricity better than aggressive full-length dies, making it ideal for match-grade ammunition preparation.
