[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1737095, member: 7539"] Thanks again guys. I went ahead and bought the Hornady one over at BassPro yesterday. I've already used it with .223 and it works flawlessly. Very nice setup. I will probably buy the RCBS one at some point too just cause they're pretty reasonable and it would give me a back and another one in case things work better with it under whatever circumstances. They didn't have it in stock otherwise I would have just bought them both. I only bought the .22 collet for now but I'll be going back to get the .308 one right away and other ones as needed. I have to say that I do really like the cam system on the Hornady. When it's adjusted correctly, so the case mouth catches on the outside of the collet, you can just press the bullet up into the die and the collet free floats so you don't have to be precise there. Then it's just a matter of flipping the lever over to cam the collet tight and bazinga... good to go. Really well thought out design. I can't wait to buy the RCBS too now just to get intimate with how they designed theirs. Blitzfike, how did you make your collet for the .50? Turn, drill and ream some stock and then cut slots in it or ? [/QUOTE]
