.22 Hornet Neck Sizing/Collet Die Needed


Recommended Posts

I need a .22 Hornet neck sizing/collet die. I am open to buying just the neck sizing die, or the full set, if it includes the neck sizing/collet die.The Reloader's Bench in Mt. Juilet didn't have one yesterday, nor the full four die set.Midway USA, and others, have new ones but they're kinda pricey. Hoping to find a used set that someone does not need anymore. Thanks for your help.

You can get the same effect by drilling a hole in a dime and placing it between your shell holder and die when screwing it in the press.  Just enough to back off the shoulder and not over work the brass.  I do it all the time.

But, here is the other thing. Your Hornet brass has been fired in multiple guns. Unless you kept them separate, you will probably have to FL size the first time. But possibly Caster's dime trick might size them enough to fit them all.

 

Caster? What do you think?

I would full length size them before ANY form of neck sizing.  Either backing off a standard sizer or a collet die like he's wanting to buy.  They need to be fire formed to ONE specific chamber before you can start neck sizing only.
