Christmas in August
Our friendly area UPS driver delivered two custom sets of Lee Precision Collet dies this afternoon. 400 Jeffery (aka 450/400 3 inch) and 404 Jeffery. Kawabunga, Big Bob! Oh yeah, Happy Dance! dancing

Glad I have a Lee Classic Press with a removable insert. These new dies are 1 1/4!
Guys, I gotta tell ya, I'm a convert to the collet dies! Gosh , no more over working the brass necks. No more messy lube! I also got the "Factory Crimp" dies for both although I probably won't be crimping the 400 Jeffery.

Lee made em right for me with the CIP double radius shoulder on the 400 Jeffery! I'd post pictures, but I have to go size some more brass! This is FUN!

Merry Christmas Y'all!

ps
Any guesses where I'm gonna be this weekend?
