6xc Lee collet die

[Wisconsinner]

I would like to give the Lee collet neck sizing die a shot, but as my luck would have it they don't make 6xc as a standard option. I see they have 6 creedmoor as an option, would that work? It looks like the overall length is close enough. Or am I stuck sending in 3 pieces of brass, and waiting for a custom die?

If know someone with a lathe they are easy to modify.

I thought about that too. What part(s) would need to be modified? I would think the collet itself so the shell holder would engage it later.

The collet.
I went in with a tool and re cut the shoulder and Sides then cut the bottom that contacts the shell holder to set the neck position.
Turned a 7-08 LCD into a 7 saum.
I’m no master machinist and I’d rate it as a simple operation.

Great! Thanks for the help!
